‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ to Get a Chinese Release on 2 March
Let’s see if ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ can break Aamir Khan films’ records in the orient.
After the success of Aamir Khan’s Dangal and Zaira Wasim’s Secret Superstar, it is time for Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan to be released in China. Eros International and a Chinese film company, E Stars Films, held the premier of Bajrangi Bhaijaan in Beijing that was attended by director Kabir Khan and child actor Harshali Malhotra.
The film will be releasing in China on the 2 March, two years after it hit theatres in India, and will be showcased over a massive 8000 plus screens.
The film tells the story of Bajrangi, played by Salman Khan, to be an ardent devotee of Lord Hanuman, partaking a journey to reunite a six-year-old Pakistani girl with her family back in her homeland. The film also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan.
As of 2016, the film's worldwide gross was ₹629 crore (US$98 million). It definitely stands a chance at transcending this number after its release in China considering the business that Aamir Khan’s films have made.
