Filmmaker Prashanth Neel, who last directed KGF: Chapter 2, congratulated the cast and crew of the Kamal Haasan-starrer Vikram.

In the tweet, he noted that it was a feast to watch Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil together and added that he was a big admirer of director Lokesh Kanakaraj’s work. 

After a theatrical release on June 3, the film had its digital premiere on Disney Plus Hotstar on July 8. Written and directed by Lokesh Kanakaraj, Vikram is produced by Kamal’s home banner Raaj Kamal Films International in association with R Mahendran. The film features an ensemble star cast including Narain, Gayathrie, Kalidas Jayaram, and Arjun Das, among others, in pivotal roles. Actor Suriya appears in a cameo role.

It may be noted that Vikram and Lokesh’s 2019 film, Kaithi, are interlinked and they exist in the same cinematic universe. The film’s title is borrowed from Kamal’s 1986 film, Vikram, a spy action film, directed by Rajashekar. Apart from the Kaithi connection, the film also has a common thread that links it to the 1986 Vikram. On the other hand, after Vishwaroopam 2 (2018), Vikram is Kamal’s first film to release in the theatres.
