Slim Vikram is surviving on greens and leaves

Oct 27, 2013

Vikram's incredible weight loss and physical metamorphosis for Shankar's I are well-known and the director in a recent interview, said that Vikram is literally starving to get into his character's mold. He also said that slim Vikram's scenes would be a rollercoaster for audiences.

"When others in the unit would be eating Biriyani, Vikram would be chewing some leaves and vegetable greens. He is dedication's other name in Tamil cinema"

It was Vikram's idea to actually lose weight for the role as he felt actors in our country generally put on weight for their films, but don't go the other way round and lose weight drastically for their films.

Vikram's fans in the social media are already likening him to Hollywood superstar Christian Bale, who went through a shocking weight loss for his movie 'The Machinist' and also quickly added substantial bulk to his frame for his roles in Nolan's Batman movies.
