Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan was excited for his first release in China as Kaabil hit theatres in the neighbouring country on Eid, June 5, but the film has not lived up to the expectations. It has earned a mere $1.31 million (Rs 9.09.crore) on the first day of its release in China. Directed by Sanjay Gupta and released in India in January 2017, Kaabil also starred Yami Gautam.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the China collections of the film on Twitter. He tweeted, “#Kaabil has a shockingly low start in #China... Needs to score big numbers [from Fri to Sun] for a satisfactory *extended* weekend total... Wed $ 0.48 mn, Thu $ 0.66 mn. Total: $ 1.31 million [₹ 9.09 cr]. Includes previews held earlier.”
Recently, Hrithik visited China and even met Jackie Chan.“Meeting Jackie Chan was a revelation at so many levels. Incredible experience. Inspired,” Hrithik wrote on Instagram where he shared pictures with Chan. In one the pics, Hrithik holds a book, while both the stars pose with a few soft toys in another.
