Singham Returns which released last Friday has been ruling the Box Office breaking all the records Salman's Kick has set. The movie is soon going to enter the 100 crore club and Rohit Shetty is very ecstatic about the same.

Rohit Shetty has become a Box Office king whose movies are sure to rake in the highest moolah possible but to come to this stage, the director has worked many years. But there are several lucky and talented directors who have achieved the same level of success right with their debut movie. The latest example of this will be Salman Khan's Kick.

Sajid Nadiadwala as a producer has several blockbuster films in his kitty, under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Sajid has produced many 100 crore movies but as a director Kick was his debut film and within a very short time he managed to break many Box Office records set by other films and made Kick the highest overseas grosser and third highest grosser in the domestic market.

Kick was a remake of Telugu movie of the same name, so there was an added pressure for the film to do well and he succeeded in doing much more than that. His other movie, 2 states which was co-produced under his banner and also by Karan Johar had director Abhishek Varman make his debut in direction with a film based on the 2009 novel of the same name written by Chetan Bhagat.
