Not many are aware that director Vikram Kumar had directed a Tamil film called Alai with Simbhu and Trisha. Made in 2003, the film which is a romantic drama turned out to be a failure. Now reminiscing about it in a latest interview, Vikram opened up that Alai was very bad film he had directed with poor screenplay penned by himself. However, Vikram said he learnt a lot from Alai and admitted that how a film shouldn’t be made.
Vikram first started his career in Telugu with Ishtam which marked the launch of heroine Shriya Saran. With the film biting the dust at the BO, he moved into Tamil and made Alai, 13 B with Madhavan. It’s 13 B, a psychological horror, overturned Vikram’s fortunes. Vikram subsequently returned to Tollywood with Ishq. The film was a super hit and gave a breather to then flop star Nithiin.
After this, Vikram made a feel-good family drama revolving around rebirth, fate and destiny. Beautifully shot and tautly narrated, Manam went onto be biggest hits of the year receiving accolades. After his successful stint in Telugu, Vikram is back to Tamil and joined forces with Suriya. Though shot in Tamil, the film is being dubbed into Telugu and is releasing simultaneously on May 6.
Vikram says he’s regretting not teaming up with an actor like Suriya all these days and he’s now content to collaborate with him. Let’s see how far Vikram did justice to 24.
