Meanwhile, Pathaan, which was embroiled in a controversy surrounding a saffron colour bikini, has smashed box office records of Hindi films. It registered a record opening of 57 crores (nett) across India. The film, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, released in three languages- Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
