Vishwaroopam was made on a budget of ₹950 million.[7][lower-alpha 2] The film was released on 25 January 2013 worldwide except Tamil Nadu where it was banned due to protest by Islamic organisations which cited that Muslims were depicted in a negative manner.[9] The ban on the film was lifted and it released on 7 February 2013 after a mutual agreement between Haasan and the organisations;[10] the Hindi version was released on 1 February 2013.[11] Both versions received generally positive reviews and were commercial successes at the box office,[12][13] collectively grossing ₹2.2 billion overall.[7][lower-alpha 2]
