Superstar Kamal Haasan starrer Vishwaroopam 2 finally releases today. The spy-thriller is a sequel to 2013 Vishwaroopam which saw Kamal playing an espionage to expose and destroy the sleepers cells by wanted terrorist organizations. The sequel continues from there, however, is a "jumbled mess" if reviews are to be believed. However, like every movie, a section of fans have already given a big thumbs up to the movie as they caught up with early morning shows, while, many others are disappointed with Haasan's movie choices. The movie released after quite a few delays and is now open for the audience to react to.
As we dig in the day to analyze how the audience is reacting to the movie, it will suffice to mention the number of cuts ordered by the Central Board of Film Certification to ensure a smooth release. The first part was banned in Tamil Nadu post-protest staged by Muslim outfits and it will be interesting to see if the history is going to repeat itself in this aspect.
