Kamal Haasan’s ‘Vikram’ continues to rock the box office. The film has successfully broken the five-year-old record set by ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ to become the biggest grossing film in Tamil Nadu. In Kerala also, it has emerged as the highest grossing non-Malayalam film.

‘Vikram’ is an action-packed entertainer directed by Lokesh Kangaraj. While the film has Vijay Ssthupathi and Fahadh Faasil in prominent roles, Suriya makes a guest appearance towards the end.

It has already been confirmed that ‘Vikram’ will get a second part. Lokesh will next direct Vijay in an action film. After that, he will work on ‘Kaithi 2’ with Karthi. Suriya’s character Rolex from ‘Vikram’ is also expected to be part of ‘Kaithi 2’.
