Directed by SS Rajamouli, RRR sits at a worldwide collection of around INR 1200 crore making it India's highest grossing film starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in pivotal roles.

On the other hand, The Legend of Maula Jatt revolves around the legendary rivalry between Noori Natt and Maula Jatt. The film stars Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Humaima Malik among others. The film is said to be made on one of the highest budgets in Pakistani film history.
