Jason Sanjay has made his directorial debut with Sigma, which arrived in theatres on October 2. The heist action drama stars Sundeep Kishan in the lead role and has recorded a decent opening on its first day.
According to Sacnilk, Sigma has earned approximately Rs 1.08 crore net in India so far on Day 1. These are live figures and are expected to change as more shows are recorded throughout the day. Jason Sanjay is the son of actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay, who is also the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Sigma Day 1 Box Office Collection
Sigma has collected around Rs 1.08 crore net in India from 849 shows, while its gross collection currently stands at approximately Rs 1.27 crore. The film has recorded an overall occupancy of 35.69 per cent so far.
