Shahrukh,
the
producer,
is
thrilled
that
Om
Shanti
Om
has
done
well.
He
says,
“So
far,
it"s
the
biggest
hit
of
my
career.
Just
the
sheer
number
of
prints
will
make
it
one
of
the
most
successful
films.
The
initial
feedback
to
the
film
is
absolutely
stunning
all
over."
Shahrukh
is
not
comfortable
discussing
figures,
“To
be
honest,
as
a
producer,
I
never
give
out
money
reports
etc,
but
suffice
it
to
say
it
is
10
times
better
than
I
expected
or
even
more.
All
collection
reports
for
weekends
given
by
anyone
before
Monday
are
just
projections;
because
as
everyone
knows,
the
weekend
is
not
over
till
Sunday"s
over.
Eros"s
(the
distributors)
initial
estimate
indicate
80
crore
but
they
are
working
on
collating
the
data
since
it
was
a
long
Diwali
weekend
and
distribution
data
is
just
pouring
in.
It"s
not
about
80
crore
this
year
80
crore
has
never
been
collected
in
India
ever
for
any
film!"
The
overseas
collections
are
also
huge.
SRK
adds,
“The
collections
in
UK
which
one
can
get
from
EDI
on
the
net,
are
over
half
a
million
pounds
till
Sunday
evening
in
USA
about
1.5
to
2
million
dollars.
I
am
expecting
the
film
to
run
with
even
more
prints
from
Tuesday
onwards
and
have
the
same
run
for
2
weeks
at
least,
because
OSO
is
huge!
Also
our
figures
are
not
out
because
it"s
taking
time
to
count.
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!"
That"s
the
sound
of
King
Khan
laughing
all
the
way
to
the
bank.
