There’s no wonder that none other than ace director Shankar heaped praises on actor Vikram and called him as “Mr Steel” for his dedication and commitment. Vikram’s rigorous efforts in method acting where he mould himself and his body for his roles in films have been heavily acclaimed. Especially, the way he transforms his body to suit the roles has been lauded.
The above picture of Vikram, a still from his upcoming I, has been circulating online and this still is perfect example for how Vikram transformed himself as soon as he stepped into this role. In the film, Vikram essays the character called ‘Lingesan’, who considers Arnold Schwarzenegger as a role model and his only aim in life is to win the Mr. Tamil Nadu title. Shankar had crafted the hair style of Vikram by taking the front curl look of the younger Arnold Schwarzenegger as a reference.
As per director Shankar, among all get-ups in the film, the hunchbacked man character was the most difficult one to sketch. Vikram was confirmed to sport his hunchbacked get-up in most parts of the film.The bubbles observed on the character’s face were reported to be designed by Weta. Vikram also went bald for the film to change his looks in the film easier.
The combo of Shankar and Vikram who did a Box Office wonder with Aparachitudu (Anniyan in Tamil) earlier are now planning to repeat the magic with “I” which is all set for release on Jan 9. Billed to be a romantic thriller, Amy Jackson plays a model and Vikram’s love-interest in the film. It has music by AR Rahman and the VFX of the film is said to be top-notch. Definitely, I is the film to watch out for.
