The latest blockbuster from Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan, Vikram, has set a new benchmark at the box office in Tamil Nadu. In its third week, the film has emerged as the biggest hit ever in the state, catching up with the revenue of Baahubali: The Conclusion in Tamil Nadu.
Vikram’s collection in Tamil Nadu stands at Rs 155 crore. For the past five years, Baahubali 2 had the record of collecting about Rs 152 crore in Tamil Nadu and now that has been beaten.
Last week, Kamal Haasan had organized a grand celebration in Chennai to celebrate Vikram’s success. The event was attended by director Lokesh Kanagaraj, music composer Anirudh Ravichander and principal TN distributor Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Gaint Films.
“#vikram entering the third week will break all the records of the Tamil cash registers!” Udhayanidhi had previously tweeted.
Happy Father’s Day!!
Baap of all South Indian movies. Book & enjoy #Vikram at theatres.
