While news are doing the rounds that Shankar’s directorial has failed to impress the audience, but the Aascar Production venture I has been able to create a few new records at the box office. The film fared well in United States, which is one of the main markets for Kollywood films. If we talk about the domestic market, the movie opened to a grand response in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.

If we talk about the movie ticket pre-sales chart, the film is trending at the third. Aascar Film tweeted, “#I (#Ai) is still trending at the #3 position in the @MovieTickets Pre-Sales Chart, way ahead of #Hollywood movies releasing this week!”
