Vikram which released on 3rd of June with much expectations, seemingly exceeded the level of anticipation of the audience. Plot of the film revolves around former militant Vikram accomplishing a mission to destroy the drugs that has potential to ruin the society.

With Kamal Haasan playing the titular role, Vijay Sethupathi appeared as a ruthless drug Lord with three wives. Fahad Fassil played the role of a secret agent of government and Suriya appeared in a cameo appearance as well. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj tried his best not to reveal the inclusion of Suriya in “Vikram” prior the release of the film. However, pictures and videos of the actor entering the sets of Vikram and posing for pictures with the actors of the film were leaked in the internet.

Without having much choice, the production house had to make it official and a poster was made for Suriya was release exclusively. In interviews, Lokesh Kanagaraj said that he was planning to give audience the surprise while watching in screens but people are leaking videos. Kamal Haasan, during his cannes visit, said that they had to put their hands up and admit Suriya’s participation in the film as the pictures were leaked already.

However, the makers were keen on hiding the looks and character Suriya was going to play in the film as they only showed his eyes in the official posters. Now, after the film’s release, fans can’t keep calm as Suriya elevated the film’s range to another level through his presence.

Loved being on sets with you and the whole team!! @Dir_Lokesh #Vikram https://t.co/xUSByjl2fI

Appearing as “Rolex”, a ruthless kingpin of the mafia world, Suriya orders his men to kill Vikram, Dilli and Amar and offers “lifetime settlement” for the one who brings their heads. The actor, as a complete contrast to the image he has build in Tamil cinema over the years, was seen brutal, savage and stylish with his coolers, stud and Marshal speakers he carried on his shoulder.

Reports suggests that the film collected more than Rs. 25 crore in Tamil nadu alone with a Worldwide box office collection amounting to Rs. 55 crore. As far as the salary details of the Vikram crew is concerned, Vijay Sethupathi has been paid Rs. 10 crore and Fahadh Faasil got Rs. 4 crore through acting in the production of Kamal Haasan. According to movie reviewer Prashanth who interviewed Lokesh Kanagaraj before the release of his film, Suriya who staged a platform for the upcoming parts of the Vikram franchise through his cameo role, has received no money from Kamal Haasan, his producer whom he considers as his “Anna”.

“Annan Suriya – a true fan of Kamal Haasan sir. He could have easily rejected Rolex character since he is a leading hero. He did it because kamal sir is the lead and he wanted to contribute . That’s how u repay to the person who Inspired you ! #Vikram” said Prashanth in his tweet and went on to add “An interesting information : @Suriya_offl has not taken any salary for his role in #Vikram”
