Kamal Haasan’s Vikram, which also stars Fahadh Faasil, Vijay Sethupathi and Suriya, is gearing up for a massive release on 3 June in multiple languages.
According to trade sources, the film has registered the most sizeable pre-release earnings in the veteran’s career — over Rs200 crore. The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial will be Kamal Haasan’s first release in four years.
Vikram, which marks the maiden collaboration between Kamal and Lokesh, is a high-octane action-thriller.

Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan met Rajinikanth over the weekend ahead of the release of Vikram. Lokesh took to Twitter to share the picture and share his excitement over the meeting.

If the industry grapevine is anything to go by, Lokesh will soon direct Rajinikanth in Kamal’s production. This project has been in the news for over two years now, and it looks like things are finally falling in place.
Vikram, which will also be released in Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi, features Suriya in a powerful cameo.
As part of the promotional interviews, Lokesh said that he wasn’t sure if Suriya would accept the offer at the last minute. Surprisingly, he gladly accepted and completed shooting his portion in two days, almost shooting round the clock.
Vikram, which is gearing up for release on Friday, was supposed to be wrapped up last November. The shoot had to be postponed after Kamal tested positive for the coronavirus. Eventually, the makers decided to shoot the entire schedule indoors in a specially built set.
