After completing 25 days of its theatrical run, Tamil film Varisu, starring Vijay, has emerged as the clear box-office winner with gross earnings of over ₹300 crore globally over Ajith-starrer Thunivu, which managed to collect over ₹250 crore.
Varisu director Vamshi Paidipally has lashed out at those who said the film feels like a TV serial. He said TV shows keep people engrossed in the evening.
A viral video features a woman slamming Vijay's Tamil film Varisu, calling it a 50-year-old problematic idea on which films shouldn't be made. Many have come out in support of Vijay and defended the film.
