Vikram: I did Bheemaa for its climax


Vikram an immensely relieved man these days. It has been too long a wait for the actor, who had his first release after three years this Pongal. After an average Majaa, Vikram wanted Bheemaa, his next film, to be special and the effort shows in the film.

Trade reports carry positive tidings for this film which has been long in the making. That should be sweet news for this versatile actor as he has refused many a prospective film to dedicate time for this project. He could have made a whopping 12 crores if he had taken time off this project, he adds. Now, that is what you call dedication!

The actor says that he was spellbound after hearing the climax of the movie and decided to make it really special. Despite financial losses, Vikram says that he is happy now as his performance has come in for praise from a top actor. His wife too was ecstatic about the climax of the film.

Bheemaa also sees Vikram do action in the Jackie Chan,Jean Claude Van Damme mode. The amazing stunt sequences in the film have bowled fans all over. The film has been sold for 23 crores and is expected to fetch a distributors' share of 1 crore in Tirunelveli-Tanjore belt, which normally happens only for blockbusters.

As an actor, Vikram says, he is open to all kinds of roles. But he is apprehensive about working with debut directors based on his previous experiences. He even goes to the extent of saying that he’ll do experimental roles like in Kasi and Pithamagan, only if the director is an experienced hand.

Talking about his forthcoming Kanthasamy, which is among the most-expected movies of the year, the actor says that the film will be a real treat for kids. The actor has also agreed to do a film with whiz kid Selvaraghavan after Kanthasamy. After the Bheemaa experience, Vikram signs off by saying that he’ll henceforth be doing at least three films a year.
