Baahubali 2 producer Shobu Yarlagadda congratulates Shah Rukh Khan, team Pathaan for crossing his film's box office haul

On Saturday, producer Shobu Yarlagadda congratulated Shah Rukh Khan and team Pathaan for breaking his Baahubali 2 record and becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film. SRK's comeback film, Pathaan, broke several records at the box office, including the highest-grossing Hindi film.

The film held the record for five consecutive years until Pathaan broke it.

Records are meant to be broken and I am happy it was none other than @iamsrk who did it!"
