Vikram, the Kamal Haasan-starrer which is helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj has opened to exceptional reviews. The factor that most excited the audiences is the inclusion of characters from Kaithi, the director's previous film, in his latest outing. Interestingly, the reports now suggest that Lokesh Kanagaraj is planning to merge the worlds of Vikram and Kaithi, thus expanding his cinematic universe.
