Actor Kamal Haasan’s standout film in Tamil cinema, "Vikram," has reached a remarkable milestone, celebrating 38 years since its release. The original "Vikram" from 1986 set a new standard for spy thrillers in the industry and continues to be a significant influence.

To commemorate this occasion, the production house of Kamal Haasan released a stunning and engaging video on their Instagram account on May 29.
