Saif Ali Khan has left an indelible mark on the audience with his impeccable acting prowess in many hit films like Omkara, Main Khiladi Tu Anadi, etc. Of them, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior was released at the cinemas on January 10, 2020 and became the biggest blockbuster of the year. As per the reports, the film was produced on a budget of Rs 150 crore and as per the Bollywood Hungama Report, collected an estimated amount of Rs 367.65 crore.
