As protests against the film continued, the producers of Aamir Khan-starrer PK today said the film has broken Dhoom 3 record to become the biggest earner in Bollywood by collecting Rs 278.52 crores since its release on December 19.
The film has faced criticism by right-wing organisations who said the Rajkumar Hirani-directed film disrespects Hindu religion, an allegation rejected by its makers.
Hirani, 52, said the film’s word-of-mouth performance has been overwhelming.People are watching the film over and over again. It’s humbling,” the director said in a statement.
