Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat is unstoppable at the box office. The whole team of Padmaavat will be happy with the kind of response the film is getting!

Despite facing protests by the fringe groups, no one could stop this magnum opus to be a successful hit.

The box office storm started right from its paid reviews and then it went on to become a sensation. Talking about the box office numbers, Padmaavat collected 1.35 crores* on Tuesday. Now, the film stands at the grand total of 279.40 crores*. The film will soon enter the 300 crore club in the coming days.

Padmaavat has become Shahid Kapoor’s first 100 as well as 200 crore film and it also has become Ranveer and Deepika’s highest grossing film of all time.

Recently, speaking in an interview, Shahid expressed his happiness as Padmaavat has become his top grossers of all time. Speaking about the same, Shahid Kapoor said, “You know everyone is talking about the top grosser only, but it is a great film. The first feeling that I have is that we have come a long way, it’s a year & a half of a journey and there was a time that we were wondering if the film will release or no. So, it’s been a very turbulent journey and emotionally very draining, tiring. We were just waiting to showcase a film and share it with everybody.”

He further said, “The first thing that I feel is that validated with the fact that the film has come out and people have said so many beautiful things about the film. You feel good about the fact that the intent, with which the film was made, has been seen and people have loved it. The second thing that I feel is that it was one of the biggest risks of my career to take a role like this because for a long time nobody knew what it is! Many of them told me that why I am doing this film. So, when the film released, I waited for two days to actually see what people say. So, I feel very grateful and thankful because I knew that my character is an underdog in this film. I am so happy that the hero of the film was given that love! And yes, the numbers are also great (smiles)!”
