Two Unrelated Actors Gain Attention After The Release Of “Vikram" And "Samrat Prithviraj”

After the release of "Vikram" and "Samrat Prithviraj," two unrelated actors are gaining attention on social media. Kamal Hassan played the lead role in Lokesh Kanakaraj's Vikram. Akshay Kumar is the lead in Samrat Prithviraj. Both films were released on 3rd June. Both locked horns with the pan-Indian Telegu movie Major, starring Adivi sesh. Major is the biopic based on martyr Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Major died in the 26/11 Mumbai Taj attack. Vikram is a story happening in Lokesh Kanakaraj's universe, connected to his movie "Kaithi".

South Indian actors Chiyan Vikram and Prithviraj Sukumaran are being trolled for their coincidental similarities with the names of these movies. Memes of 'Vikram outdid Prithvi’ are trending, creating laughs and fan fights. Within the first three days itself, Vikram has made it into the 100 crore club. Prithviraj is still struggling to make its way to 50 crore club despite the Yash raj films banner and its extended cast of Akshay Kumar, Manushi Chillar, and Sonu Sood. The casting of Fahad Fasil, Vijay Sethupathi, Kalidas Jayaram, and the cameo appearance of Suriya along the Ulakanayakan Kamal Hassan along with the adrenaline-rushing musical of Anirudh has definitely given Vikram a boost, along with its brilliant plot and direction.
