Has Viswasam really collected ₹125 crore in 8 days?

Hardly a few hours after Tirupur Subramanian revealed in a video that Superstar Rajinikanth's Petta will collect ₹100 crore by Sunday (11 days) in Tamil Nadu, the distributors of Ajith's Viswasam made a shocking revelation that their movie has already grossed ₹125 crore within 8 days in Tamil Nadu.

Trade analysts, who would like to remain anonymous, have confirmed us that Viswasam could have so far grossed only around ₹80 Crore in Tamil Nadu so far and the number quoted by the distributors is inflated by at least 50%. A little birdie also told us that Viswasam's distributors are working overtime to please Ajith for reasons unknown, and they are spending heftily on social media influencers to promote their inflated box office numbers.
