Lokesh Kanagaraj unveils first glimpse of Suriya as Vikram character

The film, which marks the maiden collaboration between Kamal Haasan and the filmmaker, is a high-octane action-thriller.

Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj on Wednesday unveiled the first glimpse of Suriya's character from his Tamil film Vikram, which will be released worldwide on Friday.

The film, which also stars Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil, sees Suriya make a cameo.

The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial will be Kamal Haasan’s first release in four years. Vikram, which marks the maiden collaboration between the veteran artiste and the young filmmaker, is a high-octane action-thriller. 

Thanking Suriya for taking up the role, Lokesh unveiled the poster on Wednesday. 

Vikram, which will also be released in Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi, features music by Anirudh Ravichander. 

Lokesh had said that he wasn’t sure if Suriya would accept the offer at the last minute. Surprisingly, he gladly agreed to come on board and completed shooting his portion in two days, almost shooting round the clock. 

Recently, industry tracker Ramesh Bala took to Twitter to reveal that Vikram has done pre-release business worth over Rs200 crore.

Meanwhile, Kamal met Rajinikanth over the weekend ahead of the release of Vikram.
