Also starring Deepika Padukone, the movie is a co-production by Shah Rukh&#39;s Red Chillies Entertainment and UTV Motion Pictures. The 47-year-old added that for the success of &#39;Chennai Express&#39;, he would like to &quot;thank our producers and distributors like Disney UTV... their strategy has improved now&quot;. &quot;People now want to see the films, if they are released properly. Mashallah, this film is doing well down South, internationally also it is doing good. I think it&#39;s a great sign for Indian films,&quot; he added. Released on Eid, the romantic comedy is said to have set new records - it has got the highest paid preview collections, highest weekend collections, highest overseas collections for an opening weekend for a Bollywood film and also the fastest film to reach the Rs.100-crore-mark. It crossed the Rs.100-crore-mark in the first weekend itself and is still going strong at the box office. &quot;Our market is growing extensively and very soon people will be comparing our market to international markets and for me that is very heartening,&quot; said Shah Rukh.
