In the domestic market alone the film has earned a whopping Rs 450 crore, making it the fourth highest Indian grosser of all time, only behind the mega blockbusters such as 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', 'Baahubali: The Beginning' and 'Dangal'.
Its Tamil version is inching towards crossing the Rs 100 crore mark. It must be noted that very few Tamil films are able to achieve this feat. Films like 'Sarkar', 'Mersal', Rajini's 'Enthiran' and the 'Baahubali' series are some of the films that have crossed the Rs 100 crore mark.
The overseas revenue of '2.0' has also been stupendous and crossed the $17.5 million mark (Rs 127 crore) in 11 days. According to trade pundits, the film is likely to gain more in the coming weeks but its business may get affected post 21 December- when Shah Rukh Khan's 'Zero' hits the theatres.
Meanwhile, as Rajinikanth turns 68 on Wednesday, the actor will be gearing up for the release of his next 'Petta'. The makers will be revealing the first teaser of the film on Wednesday to mark the superstar's birthday.
