VIKRAM ADDRESS – HERE IT GOES

·        If you ask in Kannada I would answer in English or Tamil.

·        It is two and half year’s project. We are excited. The designs are beautiful. I came late today because of flight delay.

·        There was fog in Chennai, your climate was seen in our place.

·        This is a huge film and immensely thank Shankerji for making it so wonderful.

·        I play three different roles – model, body builder and hunchback ‘Koonan’.

·        The days of making Chachi 420 and Indian were different. Today it is less troublesome but more hard work and wait at makeup was hectic. Today prosthetic makeup has improved.

·        I had put on weight, lost weight and taken over 60 kilos in some portions. I was attached doctors for throughout. Prosthetic makeup was tough.

·        Nearly two years I sacrificed my family and all other work.

·        Nearly 335 people on the sets did not work for other films for three years. That much of cooperation, gratitude is something impeccable.

·        I mean ‘Alaga’ – we wanted to keep Alagan, Aaan Alagan…it is all about beauty.

·        This is just an entertainer. We don’t carry any message.

·        Perhaps I missed six films working for this film. I am weak in maths.

·        My accounts, remuneration, taxes are looked after by my wife and chartered accountant.

·        They say about Steven Spielberg and others in this category of films. I would say this is ‘Indian Shanker’.

·        People in Hindi say we don’t get so much of budget to work. Looking at this film. Shanker is very high on imagination.

·        I am told mad man at work by cameraman PC Sreeram. I was undergoing make thrice a day.

·        When I had rashes on my skin our co artist Santhanam used to say what a terrific makeup.

·        I used to lose 300 grams a day of course with doctor consultation. When I thinned to an extent, I was told enough by the doctors.

·        I want to do normal role in coming movies. Look normal is challenge.

·        I lose female fans and gain female fans, definitely Chinese fans come up from this film.

·        It is only passion dedication and hard work makes this kind of movie.

·        I have not seen ‘I’ fully. I would see with audience in the theatre.

·        I am interested in Kannada provided I get good script. When I make the film, I would dub in Kannada and not allow anyone to do it.

·        V Ravichandran is a best friend of me.

·        Kannada is our South Indian language.

·        I eat, drink and sleep cinema.

·        When I was in school I did not like Julius Caesar main role. I was at Brutus and cassius roles.
