2.0 enters Rs 500 crore club in just a week of its release

Directed by Shankar, a sequel to 2010 blockbuster Robot, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer 2.0 was expected to break records left, right and centre but it started off slow in its Hindi version but over the week gradually earned its stripes and is now on a record-breaking spree with each passing day.

After beating the lifetime collections of Baahubali: The Beginning (Hindi) in just 6 days of its release, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer 2.0 has now joined the big league as it entered Rs 500 crore club at the worldwide box office in 7 days. The movie is currently at number 12 position in the list of highest grossing Indian films of all time right behind Dhoom 3, but will soon surpass the 2013 Aamir Khan starrer.

2.0 is also expected to go past the lifetime worldwide collections of movies like Tiger Zinda Hai, Padmaavat, Sanju, Sultan and Baahubali: The Beginning post that it'll be interesting to see if it holds well enough to go past Rs 1000 crore mark beating Aamir Khan's PK, Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Aamir's Secret Superstar. 2.0 has the potential to get to the third position as beating the worldwide totals of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal are out of the picture.
