Vikram - National Award for Best Actor

He finally got the respect that was due for him (Thanks to the Jury which did not make the Lunatic decision of giving it to Hrithik for Koi Mil Gaya). He has been phenomenal in the last five years in Tamil Cinema churning out Hits after hits and walking with ease the thin line between Commercial Cinema & off-beat movies. He had done a commendable job in Pithamagan (Though Surya had done a equally good job too) for which he got the Best Actor Award.

People call him the next Kamalhaasan. Here is a profile of him by The Week.

  • Hmm, was wondering what his name was...the unkempt, slightly mentally retarded looking guy in the trailers of Pithamagan. (Not actually familiar with Tamil cinema, I do watch songs from down south that are shown on b4u on Sundays) Liked one from that movie, its called "Elangathu". What does that mean?

  • Pooja, Vikram is a terrific actor. The Song " Ilangatru" When literally translated means " young breeze" . Wonderful song . Vintage raja (Illayaraja).

    Ila, Yeah good that they recognized him.

    Hari, I can't agree more.
