Which is why it gets confusing in films like Anniyan or Raavan where I am playing different characters. Vikram plays three distinct roles - a wimpy, pedantic and constantly frustrated middle class lawyer, Ambi, and his two alter egos: the ultra-violent avenging superhero Anniyan and the romantic playboy Romeo (who crops up after Ambi is rejected by heroine Sadha for being too staid.) Directed by Shankar, it was rumoured to be one of the most expensive movies made in South India with a Rs 27-crore budget. One of his biggest commercial successes was Anniyan (2005). He followed Sethu with a couple of more mainstream hits like Dhill (2001) and Gemini (2002), which again were variations on the action-hero theme and got back to quasi-arthouse territory in Bala’s Pithamagan (2003), in which he played a mostly mute, autistic graveyard caretaker, a performance that won him a national award. He inculcated in me the desire to take risks.” He says, “I had a good run after I met Bala, and selected some really interesting subjects. She just vanished.” Vikram, on the other hand, was just about beginning his career.

By the time Sethu became a hit, she was in the serial and doing another very stupid film. “I told her to wait but she went ahead and did a serial. He explains, “Once you do that, Tamil cinema will reject you as a hero.”Īnd this was borne out by his co-star in Sethu, Abitha.

But he rejected TV serials even if film assignments were infrequent and not remunerative. But they make it only if they have talent.”Ī constant temptation was to pack in his big screen ambitions and settle for television. We also have this new trend where people don’t even have to be lookers so many sons of producers and directors are coming in. He observes wryly, “Especially in South India, there have been so many artists who had no reason to be heroes: they didn’t know to dance or to fight or anything.
His father who ran away from home as a child to become an actor is still in his struggler phase, according to Vikram, working mainly on Tamil TV serials.
However, it took a lot more than enthusiasm to break into the increasingly outsider-unfriendly world of Indian cinema. “I really enjoyed the feeling of standing on the stage,” he recalls.Īfter that, Vikram was on stage or at least behind the scenes every time he got a chance, both at school and at the Loyola Theatre Society. It was an ambition he’d harboured ever since childhood when he played a little black girl in Steamboat, a school play.

He dropped out of an MBA programme and gave up his job as a copywriter at Lowe Lintas to pursue acting full time. He admits, “I’ve had one of the longest struggles.” He had been playing second lead in Malayalam cinema and dubbing for other actors. Like most of Bala’s films, there was no happy ending, except if one pauses to consider the impact it had on the career of its leading man.Īfter 10 years of mostly unsuccessful films in Tamil, Vikram was still waiting for his big break, at the time Sethu was released. Through the course of the film, his character transforms from an impetuous hot-headed young man to an inmate in a nightmarish lunatic asylum, struggling to find his way out of a catatonic state.
