This week’s Hollywood release, Hobbs and Shaw, the latest instalment in the hit Fast and Furious franchise, has proved to be a major threat to Sonakshi’s film. It collected ₹11 crore on day two of the release, making a total of ₹24.5 crore. With an opening collection of ₹13.5 crore, it became the sixth best Hollywood opener in India and the second biggest Hollywood opener of the year in the country after Avengers Endgame. The film stars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in lead roles.

Talking about shooting for the film, Sonakshi had said earlier, “I shot the most difficult sequence of my career in this film, where I am shown advertising the clinic in a live market. So, I was on this cycle rickshaw and behind me was a huge banner, which had ‘sex’ written on it. I had to say the names of all the sex-related illnesses and I was really shy before doing it. Shilpi gave me the confidence to do it. That’s precisely what the film talks about, that there should be no hesitation in the first place, even if I have to talk about it in front of 1000 people.” .
