Vikram, headlined by Kamal Haasan, will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from July 8

Kamal invented a spy persona for his 1986 action film called Vikram, from which Vikram was derived. The former RAW agent is brought out of retirement in the newest film by director Lokesh Kanagaraj to combat the burgeoning drug epidemic in India. In later films, Lokesh will widen Vikram's world.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the movie opened in theatres across the globe on June 3 in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. Disney+ Hotstar shared the digital release announcement of the film on Instagram Wednesday.

"A super hit addition to your watchlist coming soon! Vikram: Hitlist streaming from July 8 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. #VikramOnDisneyPlusHotstar," the post stated.
