He is gawky. But he looks almost a replica of Vijay.

And Vikranth, the cousin of Vijay, who made his debut in Karka Kasadara, is hoping that his career will take off much like that of his illustrious cousin.

Vijay too, if you remember, was gawky and had a low-key start to his career. But now he is one of the stars of the industry.

That will surely provide hope for Vikranth.

And he is getting the right breaks.

Vikranth is set to play the hero in a movie to be produced by Kalaipuli Thanu.

Vikranth, will be playing the hero in the film, which is supposedly an action packed entertainer to be directed by a debutant. Thanu known for his grandeur is planning to make this as a big-budgeted film.

Interestingly, a Pakistani girl is expected to act opposite Vikranth in the movie.
