And judging by the box office collection of Varisu and Thunivu, Vijay seems to dominate a larger position in the movie markets, both domestic and overseas, compared to Ajith. As per the reports, Varisu has earned at least Rs 90 crore more than Thunivu.

According to Cinetrak, after 12 of their release, Varisu collected over Rs 261 crore and Thunivu earned Rs 169 crore from their worldwide ticket sales.

Thunivu, however, has emerged as the biggest hit in Ajith’s career. The film has earned Rs 100 crore in Tamil Nadu alone, making it Ajith’s second film to achieve this feat after his 2019 family drama Viswasam.
