The recently released Vikram was shown as a plot connected to the 900-kilo drug bust that happened in Kaithi. In the Kamal Haasan-starrer, an audio reference to Dilli (Karthi in Kaithi) is given in North India. Kaithi 2 may explore why Dilli ended up in prison and how did he reach North India upon his release.

Vikram has to its name many box-office firsts for a Kamal Haasan film. The elated Kamal has been offering gifts to the crew. He gifted Lokesh a car and bikes to his assistant directors. Also, Suriya who made a cameo appearance as a druglord "Rolex" received a Rolex watch as Kamal's gift. Suriya and Kamal are expected to lock horns in Vikram 2.
