Tracing Vijay's exponentially increasing box office dominance over the years in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and overseas
FirstpostVijay’s 63rd film Bigil may repeat or even surpass the success of his last two blockbusters, Mersal and Sarkar, when it releases this Diwali. When it comes to the UK, Sri Lanka, and France, Vijay has become the biggest superstar with supreme box office numbers.” Even Vijay’s top contemporaries from the neighbouring Telugu film industry, like Mahesh Babu, besides their extraordinary pull in the Western market, have not had consistent success in overseas markets as Vijay does. “Mahesh Babu’s best overseas totals range somewhere between $4 to 5 million for his films, compared to Vijay’s consistently increasing box office stamina in foreign markets,” a popular overseas distributor, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells Firstpost. Ajith is considered as Vijay’s biggest arch rival, and his overseas box office has not witnessed any surge in the last few years compared to the latter.
