Kamal Haasan is one person who is celebrating his comeback with a bang. His latest outing with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, Vikram, is a film that showcased Kamal Haasan in his best yet. The role was appropriate and cut for him, perfect for gracing the silver screen after three long years.

According to reports, the gross worldwide 10-day collection of Vikram is said to be around Rs 300 crore. The film’s earnings have crossed Rs 100 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. Vikram’s Sunday collection is said to be over Rs 11 crore. The film has also emerged at the box office in the Telugu states with a ‘blockbuster’ status. It has raked in over Rs 25 crore in the last 10 days and it seems the film is likely to have a much stronger reception in its second week.

Kamal celebrated Vikram’s huge success with his friend Chiranjeevi in Hyderabad on Sunday. The Tollywood superstar threw a party at his residence where he invited the who’s who of the Telugu film industry and felicitated Kamal over the success of Vikram. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan also attended the celebration.

Kamal in his ‘thank you’ speech to the distributors and exhibitors in the Telugu states recalled that it was Telugu cinema that first helped him achieve the star status. “I become the star after the success of Maro Charitra (1978). I’m forever grateful for that. I will tell you what the success of that film was then. Because this generation may not be aware of it. That film ran as a Telugu film without any subtitles for 2.5 years in Chennai. So language is not a barrier as cinema itself is a universal language,” he said at the gathering to mark the success of the film’s Telugu version titled: Vikram: Hit List.
