Sultan set to become Bollywood's 3rd highest grossing film

The Salman Khan mania has gripped the nation so much so that the movie - Sultan - stands a day away from becoming the third highest Bollywood grosser ever after Aamir Khan's PK and Salman's previous movie - Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Within just 12 days of its release the film has earned Rs 260 crore at the box office and galloping towards a 300 crore mark in India while it has already crossed the 500 crore mark worldwide.

With Sultan in the bag, Salman now boasts of four films in the Rs 200-crore club: Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and now, Sultan.

The film is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, which tells the story of a wrestler who is pushed to retirement after a tragedy hits his life. The film stars Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma and hit the screens on Eid this year.
