Akshay Kumar's Toilet Hero gets mammoth opening in China

Akshay Kumar is overwhelmed with the love the audience in China has given to his film Toilet Hero-- originally titled Toilet: Ek Prem Katha--which has made over Rs 15 crore at the Chinese box office on its opening day.

The film, which deals with the subject of sanitation and the need for toilets, opened in China--an emerging market for Bollywood films--on Friday. It hit 4,300 screens in China, according to Reliance Entertainment, which released the film in the country.

China has become receptive to Indian films, given the popularity of films by Aamir Khan. Even Baahubali 2: The Conclusion found several takers, followed by Irrfan Khan's Hindi Medium and Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
