Salman Khan may very well become the first Bollywood actor to deliver two Hindi films in a single year which have grossed over 100 crores. Ready released just three months ago (it's still playing on some screens) has already joined the 100 Crores club. And now with the flying start Bodyguard has taken by collecting 21.25 Crores nett on the first day while shattering all previous records in all circuits across India - apart from Tamil Nadu/Kerala - it's not difficult to see the film may cross the 100 Crores mark in it's first week. Especially since it has also been able to take advantage of an extra long weekend with many shows booked full in advance for the next few days. Now it's Salman's sister's (producer) turn to rake in the moolah!
Even more than 2 decades after his debut film Maine Pyaar Kiya, Salman Khan can draw crowds in hordes to the cinema halls. With his popularity growing in the overseas market he may soon be giving Shahrukh Khan a run for the money in that market as well.
