Prabhas and Rana Daggubati's 'Baahubali 2' becomes the third highest grosser in Japan

Even though not all is good in Rana Daggubati’s life, with Sri Reddy, a Telugu actress accusing his brother Abhiram Daggubati of forcing her to perform sex in favour of giving roles in South Indian films, there is one thing he can be very happy about.

His latest blockbuster hit that broke all previous records, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has now become the third highest grosser in Japan after Muthu and 3 Idiots. Nearly a year after released in India, the film released in Japan earlier this year and became a sensation in the country.

The first on the chart is Rajinikanth‘s Muthu with a collection of $1.6 million. The film had run for nearly 180 days in the country when it was released in 1998. The next biggest hit was Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots which had raked in $1.48 millions in Japan, while Baahubali 2 comes in third with a box office collection of $1.3 million. English Vinglish ($1.2 million) and Enthiran ($1 million) complete the top 5 Indian films in Japan.

Baahubali 2 released in Japan with the title of Baahubali: The Triumphant Return of the King.

Talking about the film’s success in Japan, producer Shobu Yarlagadda (Arka Media Works), said in an interview: “We are very happy. I think it’s the third highest grossing film in Japan after Muthu and 3 Idiots there. It’s very nice to see a different culture embracing and enjoying our film. Besides box office success, the enthusiasm and love that the Japanese fans have shown are quite extraordinary and exciting. They have been actively sharing fan arts and videos on social media platforms and their blogs.”
