"The Shree Narayan Singh-directed film is "looking to go beyond Indian cinema's traditional international market," reports Variety.

Usually, Bollywood films comprise some 50 territories including USA (where Baahubali 2 made over Rs. 100 crore, the first Indian film to do so), UK, the Gulf countries, Australia and New Zealand. The makers of 'Toilet...' are set to expand the number to 70 territories.

Bollywood Box Office is going through the worst phase with B-town biggies failing to deliver at Bollywood Box Office. Trade pundits are hoping Akshay Kumar's 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' to come as a saviour.
