Mumbai, September 19 - There is no stopping superstar Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan" at the box office. The movie, directed by Atlee Kumar, is breaking records one after another, and now, it has unlocked a new box office mark for a Bollywood movie.

"Jawan" has become the first outright Bollywood movie ever to cross a combined 150 crores gross mark in the South Indian states (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Kerala). The overall domestic box office collection of the movie has also crossed 600 crores mark as I type this.



The action thriller film is truly having a sensational box office run in South India, led by two Telugu states (AP/TG) where the movie has crossed 50 crores gross mark with today's collection. Tamil Nadu is the best market for Jawan, followed by Karnataka, and Kerala, among the South Indian states.

The mega-stardom of Shah Rukh Khan and the goodwill of Tamil director Atlee Kumar is working wonders outside North India. Interestingly, "Jawan" is almost 40 crores ahead of the second highest-grossing Bollywood movie in South India, "Pathaan", also starring Shah Rukh Khan, which minted approximately 110+ crores gross earlier this year. These are the only two films to have grossed 100+ crores in these states.

Meanwhile, "Jawan" is nearing 900 crores at the worldwide box office and it is likely to get there by the end of today (13th day). The movie is on track to top 1000 crores gross in the third week, which will make it the second Indian movie of the year and 6th overall to hit this milestone.
