The film starring Askshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, is backed by The Indian Film Company (IFC), which owns the worldwide distribution rights and was released to 1,700 screens across India, USA, Canada, UAE and the UK.

Its success in the UK propelled it to 7th position in the UK TOP 10, an index which includes the latest Hollywood releases.

IFC may have also broken another record by selling the film's music rights to Junglee Music, a division of the Times of India Group for a limited period in a £1.32m deal. This is thought to be a record breaking valuation for a film soundtrack in India.
