And now, Lalettan has equalled Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's record to deliver two successive Rs 100 crore grossers in quick succession. Interestingly, The Complete Actor recorded back-to-back Rs 100 hits (Janatha Garage, Pulimurugan) within a span of 67-theatrical days while the Bollywood Khiladi took the same number of days to record two Rs 100 crore hits (Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore) in the year 2012.
