Chennai, February 21 – One of India's finest actors, Vikram, fondly known as 'Chiyaan' Vikram by his fans, has announced that he will be working on four films with directors he deeply admires.
In a post on his Instagram page, Vikram wrote, "Sometimes, silence is preparation. I spent this year waiting for stories that moved me. I am grateful to be starting four very different films with directors I deeply admire. I can't wait to share these journeys with you. Anban, Chiyaan!"
The announcement has generated great excitement, not just among fans, but also among film enthusiasts.
Vikram's last release was in March 2025, when director S U Arun Kumar's highly anticipated action thriller 'Veera Dheera Sooran - Part 2' was released. Although the film's release was postponed at the last minute due to a legal issue, it went on to become a massive hit once it was finally released.
The film's success and the support from the audience left Vikram so overwhelmed that he released a video clip to express his gratitude after it became clear that the film was a success.
After a week of the film's release, Vikram said, "There is only one life. One should make the most of it. But life throws challenges at us. We have to face these challenges.
"For example, before the release of 'Veera Dheera Sooran', many people saw the film and were amazed by the way it was made. They said that this film would be a huge blockbuster. They said that it was a raw, mass-appeal film and that it would be one of the biggest films of the year. All this made us very excited," he recalled.
"However, as you all know, there were legal problems. The High Court said that we couldn't release the film for four weeks. I wanted to somehow share this film with the fans. That is because we had all put in so much effort into this film. Whether it was the producer, the actors or me, everyone," Vikram explained.
"I wanted to do something raw and rustic for my fans. At the same time, I wanted it to be realistic and mass-appeal. So, when this film didn't release, I found it difficult. I decided I had to do something. Everyone knows that for cinema, I can do anything. I did what I could, and the film released," he said.
Pointing out that it would be almost impossible for a film, whose first two screenings were cancelled, Vikram said, despite this disadvantage, 'Veera Dheera Sooran' was now emerging as a huge success.
"When a film's first screening and the second screening are cancelled, it will not be able to succeed. Two screenings of our film were cancelled, and the film was only released in the evening. The first day's screening was definitely affected. However, every single person who came to the theatre to watch the film went back and said things that were more beautiful than what they had said before. Especially, families put out so many videos saying that the film was superb and that they enjoyed the film very much. Listening to all this made me very happy," Vikram said.
"I can now say with certainty that the film is now heading towards a massive victory. When I think of all this, I can only feel gratitude in my heart. I want to thank all of you. This was a film that was made for you. What we thought has happened. I feel very happy that it is reaching the place it is meant to reach. I believe everyone who has watched 'Veera Dheera Sooran' would have enjoyed it. I hope those who haven't watched it will watch it," he said.
Now, with the actor announcing four films at once, there is great excitement among the fans as to what the actor will do next!
