Vikram's acting credentials need no special mention. A prolific performer, he does his role with utmost ease and excellence. Be it Seeyan in sethu, Chithan in Pithamagan or the innocent Ambhi in Anniyan.

Having won the national Award for the best actor, this sought-after hero in Tamil filmdom, has got a different wish. He wants to act in a villain role.

When pointed out that several villains have gone on to become heroes in Kollywood,Vikram says, 'an actor has to change and perform different roles. I cannot stick to stereotype acting.

My performance in Anniyan should not be the same in Maja and the mannerisms in Maja should not be repeated in my next films. I don't think acting as a villain will affect my image as a hero. If I get a challenging role as villain, I would love to take it'.

A real hero of an actor, Vikram is.
