It took two years for Sethu to be completed. During those two years, Vikram did not do anything but be the character he was playing. He didn’t think of anything but Sethu. He lost weight. He shaved his head. He changed his appearance. He did everything with the expectation that the shooting would be over in three months. Six months passed, then a year. One-and-a-half years later, the film remained incomplete. Vikram couldn’t take up any other film because he had to maintain his ‘look’. By the end of the second year, it was his mother who was running the house.
His most popular films are Pithamagan Kasi, Anniyan and I. He is still remembered for these films.
These Vikarm movies are also well-liked in the Hindi belt and are among the most screened movies on TV.
