Pathaan Pre-Sales Continuing The Blockbuster Streak Of Spy Universe Films

Mumbai, January 23 - The advance booking of Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham's Pathaan which started with a thunderous response has broken every record of Hindi films in terms of collections. The film has already beaten the weekend advance of War which was the previous record holder of Bollywood.

Pathaan is a part of Aditya Chopra's ambitious "Spy Universe" which started with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012. Going back into the database, we found that each film of the spy universe has set booking opening day records when they were released.



Ek Tha Tiger (2012) was the first film in the universe and that film recorded approx 12 crores in advance business in 2012 which was the highest amount collected before release. The sequel, Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) also emerged as the highest advance booking film with approx 24.75 Cr collections.

War (2019) was the last film of the spy universe and the film had a booking collection of around 26 crores which was a record-breaking advance for any Hindi film. Pathaan currently has approx. 22 crores pre-sales for the opening day and it will go past War to record the highest advance collections.

Pathaan is set for a mega-release on 25th January worldwide and the film is expected to break many long-standing initial records. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan in the title role along with Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Salman Khan plays an extended cameo in the film reprising his role of the iconic spy Tiger.
