Vikram has won the national award for best actor for his powerful performance in Pithamagan. In a chat with behindwoods, he discusses his journey in filmdom.

How does it feel to win the national award?

Sethu was a turning point for me. Many had predicted that I would win a national award for it. But it was not to be. However, I won several other awards including Cinema Express which egged me on to work on such offbeat roles. Now, I am elated to have won the national award for Pithamagan. This award is a culmination of the struggles and pain I’ve endured for the past 12 years. I consider it as an honor to the Tamil industry rather than just a personal achievement. I am also obliged to thank director Bala, film press and fans who have given me overwhelming support.



Did you interact with Mrinal Sen at the awards function?

Yes, yes. He congratulated me on my achievement. I am also interested in working under his direction.


Henceforth, will you concentrate only on arty, offbeat roles with an eye on awards?

No, no. I am comfortable working in mainstream as well as art cinema. In the regular commercial format, I would like to do roles with several layers of characterization.


Tell us something about Anniyan. Will it be a Shankar movie or a Vikram one?

It is a powerful story. I play a character with several shades. It will be riveting to watch on screen. I am a director’s actor. So, definitely Anniyan will be a Shankar movie.


Who do you think have played a major role in your career graph?

Directors like Bala, Dharani, Hari and the film press and my fans.


Are you doing movies in other languages?

Yes, I have decided to act in one movie each in Telugu and Hindi.
