A
Grand
Release!
Vishwaroopam
2
is
one
of
Kamal's
most
ambitious
films
and
has
been
shot
against
a
budget
of
Rs
55
Crore.
It
is
the
only
big
Tamil
film
to
hit
the
screens
this
week
and
being
a
solo
release,
it
is
likely
to
get
more
screens
than
expected.
Will
Karunanidhi's
Death
Affect
Vishwaroopam
2?
Former
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister
M
Karunanidhi
passed
away
on
Tuesday
(August
7,
2018)
and
this
left
countless
Tamils
heartbroken.
The
consensus
is
that
the
grim
mood
in
Tamil
Nadu
is
likely
to
affect
its
box
office
performance.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
quite
a
few
prime
theatres
in
Chennai
have
still
not
opened
the
bookings.
And,
needless
to
say,
this
is
a
cause
of
worry
for
Kamal
and
his
team.
Will
Vishwaroopam
2
Strike
Gold
In
The
North?
Vishwaroopam
2
has
been
simultaneously
shot
in
Hindi
as
Vishwaroop
2,
and
the
Hindi
version
too
is
slated
to
hit
the
screens
tomorrow.
Kamal
enjoys
a
reasonably
strong
fan
following
in
the
Hindi
belt
thanks
to
his
successful
films
such
as
Saagar
and
Chachi
420
to
name
a
few.
As
such,
Vishwaroop
2
might
fare
better
than
expected
up
North.
Kamal's
Political
Plans
To
Harm
Vishwaroopam
2?
This
June,
veteran
actor
Rajinikanth's
big
release
Kaala
under-performed
at
the
box
office
and
this
left
many
in
a
state
of
shock.
Many
in
the
industry
blamed
Rajini's
political
views
for
the
debacle.
Just
like
Rajini,
Kamal
too
has
entered
politics
and
has
made
his
ideology
quite
clear.
It
will
be
worth
watching
whether
his
political
views
affect
Vishwaroopam
2's
performance
or
not.
To
Conclude...
Vishwaroopam
2
is
Kamal's
biggest
release
in
5
years
and
marks
his
return
to
the
big
screen
after
a
hiatus.
Its
box-office
performance
is
going
to
serve
as
an
indication
of
whether
he
has
'still
got
it'.
Needless
to
say,
if
the
film
fails
to
live
up
to
the
expectations,
it
is
going
to
dent
the
Ulaga
Nayagan's
image
in
a
big
way.
It
might
also
put
a
question
mark
on
the
fate
of
Indian
2.
In
other
words,
this
is
a
make
or
break
film
for
Kamal.
