Information
What roles are the lead actors playing?
Faasil's get-up in the clip appears formal and if this is his look from Vikram, it seems he will play a character who is connected to the government. Meanwhile, Haasan is reported to play an ex-cop and will don khaki, 15 years after he wore one for Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. Sethupathi will be the main antagonist. This is his second collaboration with Kanagaraj after Master.
Business
What do we know of 'Vikram's post-theatrical rights?
Meanwhile, multiple reports suggest that the post-theatrical rights to Vikram have been sold for a stunning amount. Both the digital and satellite rights to Vikram have been sold for Rs. 112 crore. Also, its Hindi dubbing rights have been bought for Rs. 37cr. With this, makers have already recovered most of their budget, so it's profitable even before it hits the cinema halls.
Update
What else do we know of the film?
Backed by Haasan's Raaj Kamal Productions, the film will be high on action, if the promotional clips or photos are anything to go by. Haasan, last seen in the sequel to Vishwaroopam, marks his comeback to the big screen with Vikram after four years. So, the anticipation around this movie is huge. Narain, Kalidas Jayaram, Hareesh Peradi, and Shivani Narayanan round up the cast.
