If there was a Filmfare Award for dedication
to acting, Vikram would be one strong contender
for it. One look at the roles that have got
him the award suffices as an explanation.
Losing 17 Kgs for Sethu, playing blind in
Kasi (almost as tough as feigning a squint),
dying hair and teeth in ugly almost despicable
shades for Pithamagan – he seems to
be able to go to any extent for perfecting
a role. And, if you think he is a method actor
who can only pull off the high-voltage dramas,
then you also have to look at the entertainer
in him in Anniyan. And, after watching Raavanan
one was left wondering about the difference
between good and bad, right and wrong –
he made the lines blur!
