Ajith’s Viswasam and Rajinikanth’s Petta had a dream run at the box office, thanks to the Pongal holidays. Viswasam directed by Siruthai Siva stars Ajith, Nayanthara, Jagapati Babu and Baby Anikha in the lead roles.
Trade reports suggested that Viswasam’s theatre count in Tamil Nadu is higher than Rajinikanth’s Petta as the latter announced the release date just three weeks ahead of the scheduled release.
KJR Studios, who had distributed Viswasam, officially announced the box office collection of the film. According to their Twitter post, the film has collected Rs 125 crore in Tamil Nadu in eight days of its theatrical run. The film reportedly collected 190 crores on the whole.
