Meanwhile, Roohi has become Rajkummar Rao's third highest all-time opening grosser after collecting Rs. 12.58 crore over its four day extended weekend. His previous releases, Stree and Judgemental Hai Kya had collected Rs. 31.26 crore and 19 crore respectively, in their opening weekend.

Earlier, in an interview with a tabloid, Rao had opened up about how Roohi is different from Stree and said, "It is a very different world and character. My only thing was, people have loved Stree so much and they know Vicky so well, so I wanted to make Bhawra very different from Vicky. I gave him a different look and speech pattern. But the fun is pretty similar, so I really hope that people would come and enjoy this as much as they enjoyed Stree."

Roohi is helmed by Hardik Mehta and produced by Dinesh Vijan.
