Superstar Rajinikanth's second collaboration with director Ranjith was the recently released action drama Kaala. The film released on July 7 and got a mixed response from fans and critics alike.

Likewise, Karthi's rural drama Kadaikutty Singam also released a month later, on July 13 and the film was a runaway hit and had houseful shows throughout with family audiences enjoying their experiences.

Now, there's a popular trade talk on the rounds that KKS has surpassed Kaala in the number of footfalls for a film in 2018. When we contacted our sources for more clarity on the same, they revealed that it is very well true.

However, Kaala is still higher in terms of collections and the flexible ticket pricing can be credited for this. Kadaikutty Singam has emerged as one of the highest grossing films of 2018 and takes a special place in Karthi's career graph.
