Anybody who has watched Vikram will well know that the movie has been set up very well for a sequel with a cameo by a Tamil cinema superstar at the end who'll probably be the prime antagonist in Vikram part 2. Also, those who've seen it would be aware of how Vikram is connected to Kaithi. And now, a well-placed source in the industry has told that not the sequel, which will certainly go ahead given the response and glowing reviews, will be more intrinsically connected to Kaithi, with Director Lokesh Kanagaraj even supposedly planning crime cinematic universe linking both movies. Vikram 2 is supposedly more likely to take off before because of how the movie ended and how invested Kanagaraj seems to be in the film at this point.

So, Vikram 2 is all but greenlit now, and all that remains is an official confirmation from the makers.
