The commercial success of recent Hindi movies "Jawan" and "Gadar 2" is good for the film industry, says superstar Akshay Kumar, who hopes the benchmark for a blockbuster would be "Rs 2000-3000 crore" in future. The Hindi film industry was severely impacted by the COVID pandemic as theatres were shut and even after the opening of the cinemas the box office collections were affected until early this year. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" and "Jawan" as well as Sunny Deol's "Gadar 2" have brought back the charm of the big screen experience.
"I hope the industry gives more and more hits. I was very happy when Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' did so much business. There are many other films like 'Gadar 2', 'OMG 2', which also did well. So, it's very good for the industry," the 56-year-old told PTI in a group interview in Mumbai.
