Lokesh Kanagaraj's Thalapathy67 is my film, too, says Kamal Haasan at Vikram success meet

Kamal Haasan's recent outing Vikram is emerging as one of the highest grossers in the Tamil film industry. The film, starring Kamal Haasan in the lead, is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and hit screens on June 3. Even as the team is running into the third week since release, the box office collection continues unabated. The team held a success meet yesterday in Chennai in which posters of the success were splashed across the venue.

Speaking at the event, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan said that the biggest gift is the love and affection that the audience had shown the team. He said, "They say I gifted car and bike to the team. But the true gift is what the audience has given us. The money that poor workers spent on buying tickets for the film, that too, with a portion of their meagre earnings is what I consider a true gift." Kamal Haasan had showered the team of Vikram with gifts after the film's roaring success. He had even gifted a luxury car to the film's director Lokesh Kanagaraj and a luxury watch to Suriya for his cameo.  

As Lokesh Kanagaraj is all set to team up with Master actor Vijay for his next, which is tentatively referred to as Thalapathy67, Kamal Haasan said that he considered Thalapathy67, too, as his film and that he was ready to help Lokesh in any way he could, if he had any fear or doubts about it. He said that he doesn't consider the film as a competition and that he wanted it to become a success and then do another Vikram."

When asked Kamal Haasan would produce a film starring Vijay, Kamal Haasan said that he has spoken to Vijay but everything needs to work out- the timings, story etc. If the right time comes, I will make a film with him. Many have asked me why I called Vijay ayya. There is no story behind it. Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan used to call me Kamal Haasan ayya. I am addressing him out of affection," he said. He also wished the team a huge success.
