Salman said in a statement, “I hope the industry has many more bigger successes this year. It is important that we see more hits, more blockbusters. It will expand our industry, provide more jobs for people and entertain audiences much more. I’m happy with the business that Tiger Zinda Hai has been doing at the box office. Records are never ever-lasting. Records are meant to be broken and it’s good for new records to happen more frequently. It is healthy and extremely important.”

The high-on-action entertainer is the third Salman movie to surpass the Rs 300 crore mark after Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan. Both Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai -- helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar -- are produced by Yash Raj Films.
