Chiyaan Vikram Veera Dheera Soora NO 1 in Amazon/ Kamal Haasan, Aishwarya Lekshmi in news

 Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran 2 is at No 1 position in Amazon Prime. This should make the producers go in for the first part as originally envisaged. The film is highest grosser in Chiyaan’s career post Covid. It got good review. With Suriya’s TRetro arriving the film is no more in theatres.

With 66.39 crore gross in the kitty, Veera Dheera Sooran ended its run as Chiyaan Vikram’s fourth highest-grossing film in the post-COVID era. It just missed the chance to surpass Thangalaan’s 71.45 crore gross.

Take a look at the worldwide collection of Chiyaan Vikram films post-COVID:

• Ponniyin Selvan 1 – 482.70 crore gross
• Ponniyin Selvan 2 – 345.76 crore gross
• Thangalaan – 71.45 crore gross
• Veera Dheera Sooran – 66.39 crore gross
• Cobra – 59.29 crore gross

Reportedly, Veera Dheera Sooran was made on a budget of 55 crores. Against this cost, it earned only 42.71 crore net at the Indian box office, thus failing to recover 12.29 crores.

At the launch of 25 books which feature compiled plays and short stories, of actor and playwright ‘Crazy’ Mohan, Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan spoke about the legendary writer. The icon spoke about the brotherhood he shared with the late Crazy Mohan. The two worked on several superhit films together some of it include Apporva Sagodhargal and Avvai Shanmugi.

At the event, Kamal Haasan said he was happy that they found each other. “Ours is a story of two brothers born in each other’s homes. We used to speak every day. If someone was to listen to our conversation, they would think we ought to have been in an asylum. He did not mind my atheism...he accepted it,” he said.

He also remembered the conversation with him in the latter's last days, he said "when crazy mohan was unwell in his final days, he would slur while talking, so when I asked him if he was drunk, he denied it...I told him you can hide it from anyone but not from me...we are of the same kind.
