The Arnold Schwarzenegger influences in Shankar - Vikram's I

We are back with the new round of updates from the current sensation, Shankar's I. The film's making video gave the viewers access to some never-seen-before footage and exciting information. We present to you a few such, and trust us when we say that Vikram has pushed the envelope like never before.

 

Vikram plays a North Madras based bodybuilder named Lingesan, who aspires to become Mr.Tamil Nadu. In the making video, there are a few visuals of Vikram showcasing his body on stage along with other bodybuilders and the work that he has done to build his muscle mass is incredible. Sporting just an underwear on his well-oiled body, with a curled hair style, Vikram definitely looked like an understudy to the Arnold Schwarzenegger of yore. Shankar in fact says in the video that Arnold's look in his younger days was a reference while designing the look of Vikram as Lingesan.

 

Vikram's other character, Koonan, where he is a cripple with a highly disfigured body and face, is sure to send shock-waves. Koonan would be there right through the film and Shankar and DoP P.C.Sreeram have made sure that audiences wouldn't cringe, looking at this face.

 

Shankar also hints in the making video that Vikram's beast makeover is just for the 'Ennodu Nee Irundhaal' number

 

Stay tuned for more on 'I'.
