Bheema , the Vikram starrer had finally made it to the screens after a struggle of three years. While talking to the media on Bheema Cheeyan says, “When the climax scene of Bheema was narrated to me, I was dumbstruck. I agreed to act in the film just for the climax sequence. The stunt in the movie had come out very well and I have been getting accolades for my work”.
According to Vikram the film was sold for 23 crores and he expects that Tanjore area alone to fetch one crore profit. While discussing about the flipside of agreeing to act in Bheema , Cheeyan says, “As I had promised that I would complete the film, I had stuck on this project for three years. As a result I had given away my salary of 1.5 crore and by not accepting any other offer I have lost ten crores. I have lost a lot in these three years mainly my mental peace”.
When questioned about his future projects, Cheeyan states that he is committed to Susi Ganesan’s Kanthaswamy now, after which will be involved in a Selvaraghavan’s venture. He also added that he will act in three films in a year.
