Vikram Opens Up About Losing His Vision Post 'Kasi' Shooting!

Versatile hero Chiyaan Vikram is known for his experiments. No matter the box office results, he never stops trying new subjects. He is one of the rare actors who puts his body through so much for makeovers and it affects his physical as well as mental state sometimes. He scored altered his body shape for 'Thangalaan'.

Talking about these transformations, Vikram said, “It's my passion for acting and cinema. I want to do something out of ordinary. I don't drink and smoke but life is my poison. I get a high when I perform.” Talking about the permanent damage done to his eye during the shooting of 'Kasi', he mentioned some interesting facts.

He said, “When I did Kasi, I couldn't see for two to three months because I had my eye lids up all the time. I was at the risk of getting a squint eye. Then when I did 'I' I did drastic changes. My weight got down to 52 kg at the that time from 86 kg. I wanted to get down to 50 kg but my doctor said, 'Go easy let's not get excited for this because I can see perimeters changing a bit and if main organ fails then it may be a problem, we don't know how to revive you.' Then I stopped.”

'Thangalaan' has arrived on 15th August and turned out to be a successful venture. This period drama had Vikram playing the role of a tribe leader while Parvathy and Malavika Mohanan played main roles as well. After getting good money from the South, this film is releasing in the North too. He hopes that 'Thangalaan' works out well in Hindi too just like 'Aparichitudu' and 'Ponniyin Selvan'. He is ready to act in Hindi films if a script that suits his taste arrives.
