The Aamir Khan starrer has broken the record held by Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ that released on 4,600 screens across India. However, ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ failed to match ‘Baahubali 2’s screen count, which was allotted 6,500 screens (including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam) across India. ‘Baahubali 2’ still remains the biggest Indian release ever.
