Mumbai: Salman Khan starrer 2015 blockbuster Hindi film "Bajrangi Bhaijaan",
released in China early this month, has earned Rs 200 crore there.
Talking
about the success of "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" in China, Amita Naidu-VP-PR
Eros International, said in a statement, "The audience in China are
enjoying the story and the direction and they found it very touching.
They have loved Salman and found the little girl very cute."
Amita said they are planning to explore the China market further.
"Recognizing
the significant market opportunity in China, Eros is once again coming
together with Kabir Khan for a travel drama, 'The Zookeeper' (working
title) and are
confident this would be the first of the many films releasing from our
catalogue," she said.
Aamir Khan's "Dangal" and "Secret
Superstar" have already done exceptionally well in China, encouraging
other producers in the industry to release their films there.
"China
has the world's largest cinema screen count with over 41,000 screens
and with the recent successes of Indian film releases in China, we see
tremendous box office potential in one of the most promising
international markets for Indian films," Amita said.
