Trade analyst Ramesh Bala took to Twitter to share the figures.
It must be noted that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's PK is so far the highest grossing Indian film of all time and collected Rs 792 crore worldwide. However, considering the unprecedented craze it had among on the audience, Baahubali 2 is expected to rake in Rs 1000 crore at the box office.
