Kamal Haasan who is waiting for the release of his upcoming film Vikram alongside Vijay Sethupathy and Fahad Faasil has swiftly begun the promotion works of his films. Speaking at one such event he shared his experience of working with VJS and Fahad.

Kamal Haasan compared working with Faasil and Sethupathi to a ‘good meal, which is best shared. “My guru K Balachander told me how to enjoy sharing screen space and not to steal the show. So, I thoroughly enjoyed working with both of them. Both of them were my admirers, so it felt like a felicitation.”

He also talked about films being given the tag of ‘Pan India’ and said, “Pan India films have always been there. V Shantaram ji did Pan India films. Padosan is a Pan India film. What do you call Mughal-E-Azam? It is a Pan India film for me. So, it’s nothing new. Our country is unique. Unlike America, we speak different languages, and we are united. This is the beauty of this country, and we will always be making pan India films.”

Talking about the title of the film, Haasan revealed, “There is a lot of nostalgia for me here. Many years ago when I told this story idea, the late Mr Sujatha liked it, but he was sceptical and apprehensive about the modernity of the theme. But I was very fond of that story, and in my mind, it was called Hitlist. While we (Kanagaraj and he) were talking about the new film, I asked the director what was his favourite film of mine, and he said Vikram and Sathyaa. I asked him what would you like to call your film and he said he would like to call it ‘Vikram’. So, it was named Vikram Hitlist.”

Vikram is a high-octane action drama, starring Kamal Haasan in the lead. The film also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil along with Kalidas Jayaram, Narain, Antony Varghese and Arjun Das in key roles. Suriya also has a cameo in the film. The film will release on June 3.
