Tees Maar Khan record UK opening

Farah Khan's new film has opened to record collections in the UK.

The Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer is reported to have collected over £70,000 in two days of preview screenings, and is expected to gross £100,000 by the end of the week.

"We want to get the advantage of a bigger opening weekend and we get a five-day weekend this way. In the Middle East we release 23rd because all films release on a Thursday over there."

The current box office figures suggest that the Shirish Kunder-penned comedy may have the biggest opening ever in the UK for a Hindi film.

Tees Maar Khan is out now in international markets and releases on Friday in India. See Trailer on AsiaEurope TV...
