MUMBAI: Sidharth Malhotra's masala entertainer Marjaavaan, which enjoyed a successful run at the domestic box office, has turned out to be a surprise hit in the UK market. It is heading towards £300,000 in the United Kingdom and will end its theatrical run around £310,000, which will be similar to Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh

. It has beaten films like Badla, Super 30, Chhichhore and De De Pyaar De in this market. It's quite amazing that a masala film has garnered such great footfalls in the UK and it seems that two chartbuster tracks Tum Hi Aana and Ek Toh Kam Zindagani are the reasons behind it.

Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who has received a much-needed success with Marjaavaan after delivering a few flops, says he is happy that people have accepted him as an action hero once again with Marjaavaan. "Ek Villain and Brothers introduced me as an action hero. I did not cater to this audience and today I am happy that they have given this kind of response to Marjaavaan," Sidharth said. In Marjaavaan, Sidharth plays a larger-than-life hero who breaks bones and utters dialogues that reminds of the Angry Young Man image of Bollywood's retro era. He plays a hotheaded young man who falls in love with a girl who cannot speak.
