Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran is having a good run at the box office, not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Kerala and Karnataka.
According to our sources, this Mohan Raja directorial has apparently collected around Rs 1.45 crore in Karnataka and Rs 68 lakhs in Kerala in its first four days. It must be noted there were 5 new Malayalam releases for this Christmas, which could have been a strong competition in Kerala.
The fact that Sivakarthikeyan's latest social drama Velaikkaran draws inspiration from a Rajinikanth film of the same name is pretty obvious. But it turns out, there is another aspect of similarity between the movies.
The villain of the new Velaikkaran seems to have been inspired by the old - both work in organizations competing with their own, under disguise, secretly hatching conspiracies to dismantle their enemies from within.
This aspect adds layers to their villainy, and makes the battle with the good that much more interesting. Watch Velaikkaran and find out what exactly we are talking about!
