Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Nithya Menen, Kirti Kulhari and Sharman Joshi collaborated to deliver this year’s blockbuster movie Mission Mangal

The movie is based on a real-life story of the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) in 2014 which made Mars more accessible to explore. Directed by Jagan Shakti, the movie was an Independence Day release and had clashed with John Abraham’s Batla House.

Now after more than 3 weeks of business at the Box-office, Mission Mangal has not only managed to enter the Rs 200 crore club but has also become the highest-grossing Independence day release of all times!

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, “#MissionMangal sets another new benchmark in #India: Becomes highest grossing #IndependenceDay release, surpassing #EkThaTiger... Fox Star Studios' third film to cross ? 200 cr mark: #Sanju [? 342.53 cr], #PremRatanDhanPayo [? 210.16 cr] and now, #MissionMangal [? 200.16 cr].”

Mission Mangal has managed to continue its strong run at the box-office despite heavy competitions from Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho and Sushant Singh Rajput and Varun Sharma starrer Chhichhore. 

Akshay Kumar had opened up about how Mission Mangal had happened. He said, "It just happened, he sketched out the story to me as I was leaving for a shoot of Kesari. I was bowled over but wondered how he would make it. 

"We don’t make science films and this one was about a space mission. But I liked it enough to tell him, “We’ll make it.” He began writing it with (R) Balki sir. Then, Vidya (Balan), Sonakshi (Sinha), Taapsee (Pannu) and others came on board and we wrapped up the film in 32 days. When a film finishes without issues and negativity, its good karma."
