Internationally, the movie is expected to mint as much as $4.5 million in North America on a single day, potentially setting a new record for Indian cinema overseas. The sequel continues the pursuits of an undercover Indian spy navigating dangerous terrain, backed by a stellar cast including Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun. The film’s prequel proved to be a money-minting affair, raking in Rs 1300 crore globally. The sequel appears poised to surpass even that milestone.
