Akshay Kumar’s Mission Raniganj released in the theatres today. Following the coal mining accident of Raniganj that took place in November 1989, the film follows a story of Jaswant Singh Gill, a real life hero who saved lives of a number of people and is portrayed by Akshay, and the film has opened to postive reviews.

Following the release of the film, in a recent media interaction, Akshay went on to share his views about the new benchmark for the films collections that was recently mentioned to be Rs 1000 crores by Salman Khan during one of the events, and also praised Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan that is doing a fantastic job at the box office.

Khiladi Kumar said, "I hope the industry gives more and more hits. I was very happy when Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' did such a good business. There are many other films, like Gadar 2, OMG 2 which also did well. So it's very good for the industry. Our industry went through a very bad patch because of Covid times. Now things are moving and its a great thing that Rs 1000 crore is a benchmark. Also, I hope that we make Rs 2000-3000 crore films like Hollywood, because the kind of cinema, the screenplay, the script that we have they don’t have."

He further added, “Commercial success is important because you have to make other films, but it also depends on what kind of commercial success you will get. Talking about MR (Mission Raniganj), this film is made on a certain budget. I want to call MR a commercial film. It's not a Jawan or a Rowdy Rathore. It's not that kind of film. It has a niche audience but I hope it does good business.”
