Vikram as a 18 year old in "DEIVATHIRUMAGAN"

 

Wondering if we flashbacked into Vikram’s past. No. we are discussing his upcoming film ‘Deiva Thirumagan.’ Sources close to the actor have revealed that in this film Vikram has performed some scenes as an 18-year-old. For the versatile actor that he is the actor seems to have lived on lean diets for many days to get the right build for enacting the part of an 18-year-old.

May be this is called getting into the skin of the character. Sources close to the director of the film Vijay reveal that the shots have come out really well and would be a treat for movie buffs and Vikram fans. Previously Suriya had a role in Gautham Menon’s ‘Varanam Aayiram’ where he appears as a school student in certain scenes. Those scenes in the film won the hero critical acclaim.

Vikram has had it all. He has had the chance of acting in Mani’s film (Ravanan), has done a film with director Shankar (Anniyan), and has done the most toughest of roles. Think ‘Pithamagan.’ Now this film too will be a feather in the cap of the seasoned actor who gives life to any role that comes his way.

‘Deiva Thirumagan’ sees Vikram helming the movie with Anushka as his pair and supporting performances from Amala Paul; and Santhanam provides the comical interludes in the film.

We look forward to this film of our ‘Chiyaan’ and more importantly his performance in the movie.

In the last six years, Vikram had just three releases, as it took much time to complete his films thanks to the demanding scripts and the challenging roles he had played. This, in a sense, left his fans in little disappointment.

But the actor has now almost completed shooting for his forthcoming venture (tentatively titled ‘Deivamagan’), directed by Vijay, in just four months and he is extremely happy about it.

The Cheeyan, who felt that he should honour Vijay for completing the project in such a short span of time, recently hosted a party at a popular star hotel in Chennai, in which the cast and crew of the film took part.

The list of those who had turned up for the party, according to sources, includes the names of Anushka Shetty and Amala Paul, who had played crucial roles in the movie.

2011 could be a big year for Vikram and his fans for the actor is working non-stop. Even as on the verge of completing his film with director Vijay, the ‘Cheeyan’ is getting ready to start his next venture.

To be directed by Suseendran of ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’ and ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ fame, the movie will go on floors on April 6. “It will be a racy action entertainer- a real treat for Vikram fans,” sources maintain.

Suseendran has completed his forthcoming film ‘Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai’ and is at present busy with the ground work for the Vikram starrer. In the meantime, the actor too is gearing up for the movie.

Meanwhile, the Vikram-Vijay movie, tentatively titled ‘Dheivamagan’ or ‘Pitha’, has Vikram in a different get-up. “This is the reason behind the actor not attending any public functions in the recent past.”
