Kamal Haasan’s multistarrer with Fahadh and Vijay Sethupathi was released on June 3rd in theatres. The film opened to mammoth collections on the opening Friday followed by an excellent Saturday. Vikram is running super strong at the box office, grossing more than 100 crores in just 2 days.

In the Tamil version alone, Vikram has crossed more than 90 crores in 2 days. Going by the trade analysis and reports, the Sunday collections are expected to be way bigger than the opening day collections in many territories. Vikram is posting ghostly numbers in the opening weekend itself.

If this trend continues, Vikram has every chance to become a Tamil version industry hit. If Vikram passes the weekday test then there will be no stopping Kamal and the crew from breaking all records. The film needs to collect 270 Cr+ gross in Tamil to become an industry hit.

Apart from Kamal Haasan, Fahadh, and Vijay Sethupathi, credit needs to be given to Suriya as well. His 5-minute electrifying cameo in the film has led to repeat watchers in theatres. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj jas set up a multiverse of madness with references to his 209 film Kaithi as well.

Shakuntalam is the most ambitious as well as the most expensive project in Gunasekhar’s career. He is not only directing the film but also producing the film. While this is an advantage, it can also lead to over-spending on the decided budget.

Ace producer and distributor of Tollywood, Dil Raju, liked the script of Shakuntalam and decided to be involved in the film. He is presenting the film as well as distributing the film. Now, Dil Raju seems to be upset with Gunasekhar as he is taking a lot of time to finish the post-production work of the movie.

Gunasekhar is also spending a lot of time and money on the VFX of Shakuntalam. VFX is not cheap by any means and the cash flow is constantly exceeding the assigned budget. Gunasekhar has reportedly asked for time. Dil Raju is most likely planning to come out of the project.

Shakuntalam features Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead role. It also stars Dev Mohan and Aditi Balan in important roles. Mani Sharma is the music director of the film.

Venkatesh and Varun Tej’s multistarrer F3 was released on 27th May in theatres. The film opened to a terrific opening day followed by a successful weekend as well. Being the sequel to the blockbuster F2, the movie came with a lot of expectations.

However, from the looks of it, the movie has not been able to live up to the mammoth expectations. After the opening weekend, the film saw a massive drop in collections in most areas. It suffered a huge drop in Nizam also, which is producer Dil Raju’s strong zone.

People have been speculating that the reason for this is the false promises made by Dil Raju. Now, Dil Raju is doing everything he can to prove that F3 is a successful film. From releasing success posters to organizing numerous success meets in various areas, he is trying it all.

At this rate, the breakeven looks impossible in most areas but still, the team is conducting success meets to lie to the audience. In the latest success meet, Dil Raju has mentioned that the movie has crossed 100 crores gross. But, this is not possible in the full run at this rate with Vikram and Major dominating the box office.
