The film, which released amid very high expectations, has lived up to the hype as it has successfully breached the Rs. 150 crore club worldwide in its opening weekend. The film, as per trade sources, is emerging as the biggest blockbuster in Kamal Haasan’s career.

Industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai took to Twitter on Monday to reveal that Vikram has collected over Rs. 150 crore in just three days.
His tweet read: “has turned out to be a universal hit with terrific WOM. The @ikamalhaasan action extravaganza directed by @Dir_Lokesh has grossed over ₹150Cr from worldwide box-office in opening weekend, India alone accounting for ₹100 Cr+. Biggest post pandemic hit from Kollywood (sic).”

The film, which was dubbed and released in Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam, features Kamal Haasan in a role he originally played in the 1986 film of the same name. He returns as former agent Vikram of the coveted Black Squad which used to work for the Indian government.
Vikram, which stars Suriya in a cameo, sets up the stage for a franchise in the making. Going by some crucial moments in the movie, Suriya could be playing the antagonist in Karthi’s Kaithi 2 and the next part in the Vikram franchise.
If everything goes as planned, the third part in the Vikram franchise will go on the floors sometime next year. Before that, Lokesh has to finish his film with Vijay and he also has Kaithi 2 in the pipeline with Karthi.
