Haasan had to cross several hurdles to get his Rs 95 crore film released and had said that if it did not release he would be left bankrupt, as he had pledged all his property to those who had financed the film.
Vishwaroopam had raked in some Rs 5.81 crore on the day it released in Tamil Nadu and the Hindi version had earned Rs 1.99 crore on the opening day.
Actor Rahul Bose, who plays the villain in the film, expressed his joy over the success of the film.
