The movie was one of the highest-earning Indian movies of all time. He won another Filmfare Award for Best Actor for this role. After taking a break, he became successful again with the fantasy movie Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022), the romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (2023), and the action drama Animal (2023).
