“Acting in ‘Raavan’ is like being part of three Mani Ratnam projects,” says Vikram. And the ‘Chiyaan’ has a valid reason to justify his claim. “Because, each and every scene is being shot thrice,” he says.

“I play the hero in the Tamil version and villain in the Hindi version. And the other version is Telugu which too is being shot simultaneously. So I feel like doing three Maniratnam films,” the National Award winning actor explains.

On his yet-to-be-titled movie with Selvaraghavan, Vikram says, “I know Selva right from ‘Thulluvadho Ilamai’ days. He always wanted to stay out of the box and he is proving it once again in this new project too. You can see a new Vikram.”

Ask him about his producer avatar, Vikram, who is funding a film directed by Sasikumar, says, “He is the golden boy of Tamil film industry. The film is going to be yet another rocker. The ‘Subramaniapuram’ magic will be repeated.”
