‘Vikram’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Faqat Fazil, was a blockbuster hit.
Speaking on the occasion Director Lokesh Kanagaraj said, “This place was given to me by Kamal Sir. Beyond directing a film at Raj Kamal, I can not simply celebrate when I am directing a film for an actor I grew up watching at a young age. Thanks to Lockdown for what Udayanidhi said. Got a lot of time to write the story.
Kamal Char gave complete freedom in the film. No amount of thanking him is enough. While I was interviewing for the YouTube channel for the promotion of the film, Kamal was going from state to state and doing promotion. Kamal Char will go from one state to the next before I finish the interview in one studio and go to the next studio. Kamal Char was not sleeping in the promotion work while we were not sleeping in the post production work.
What I learned from Kamal was to be sincere to cinema. He called me when the film was released and talked for half an hour. The film is a success and your work is done. He immediately went to the office and started writing the story for the next film, saying that the brakes would not take anything. I take it as a big lesson. The success of this film has given it extra responsibility. With that responsibility, I am going to start work for the next film. ”
