When “Muthu,” starring Rajinikanth, debuted at the box office in 1995 and brought in 400 million Japanese Yen, or roughly 23.5 crores, it became the highest-grossing Indian film in Japanese history. But in 2022, the 24-year record-holding movie “RRR,” starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR, was destroyed at the Japanese box office.
