Vikram is celebrating his birthday today. The celebrated star of Tamil cinema, Vikram has carved a niche for himself doing variety roles in his films.
Today, Members of the Fans Associations of Vikram organized several programmes including distributing financial aid to orphanages and helping the poor and the needy.
Director Dharani presided over the function.
With numerous blockbusters to his credit, Vikram rose to claim the star status with hits like Sethu, Dhill, Kasi, Dhool, Saamy, Gemini, Pithamagan and Anniyan.
After the success of Sethu, he was affectionately called Chiyan, named after his character in the film. He won the prestigious National Award for his performance as an undertaker in Pithamagan, 2003.
Sethu, which released in 1999, was Vikram's first blockbuster though he made his debut almost a decade earlier. Vikram's second blockbuster Dhill came in 2001. Vikram's Gemini, Dhool, Saamy and Pithamagan took him to greater heights.
It was Anniyan which brought more fame and name to Chiyan in Telugu and Bollywood industries too. He is currently busy shooting for Bheema directed by Lingusamy. |
