The film was a hit at the box office, and grossed more than ₹300 crore worldwide. Talking about working in south movies, Manoj recently told ETimes, “I have worked in South films before. I have always been in search of good stories. I don't care if the film is made with 1000 crores, 500 crores or 300 crores. I don’t work like that. Nowadays, everyone just wants to talk about the box office. I have been fighting against the box office trend forever."
Manoj has several projects in his kitty, including Gulmohar. Directed by Rahul Chittella, the film also stars Sharmila Tagore, Amol Palekar, Suraj Sharma and Simran Rishi Bagga.
