The Art Director about Vikrams dedication and effort in I Movie. Im impressed...! Anything about Vikram? He is not a human being. He is a gift from God. Will any other artist go to this extent to justify a role? Dedication and Vikram are synonymous. He has almost pledged his life for I. Nobody can reprise or even attempt what he has done for I. It was soul-stirring to see the pain he had to go through. If we sympathized, he would feel odd about it. I have personally seen all that he went through. He is the epitome of willpower and commitment. From a beastly body builder to a hunchback, Vikram looks convincingly real. His body obeys him. For more than 4 years, I have been trying to reduce my weight but in vain. He completely changes himself into somebody. The character transformation he went through is probably the first of its kind youll witness. From over 90 kgs, he went to the 40s in just a month. How can somebody do that? For the hunchback role, he had to reduce so much of weight in order to deal with the heavy make-up. We had a small AC box for him to sit inside. During the shoots, before the shot got ready, we used to take him around, in the box, which had a wheel attached to it. When he came out of the box while the shot was ready and if somebody was working on the sets, the very sound of a hammer on a nail would send unbearable pain to his body. He was so feeble and weak. A mere look at him can terrify us. There were times when we had to repeatedly call him; the complete starving had dampened his senses. Who will do all this? Can somebody go to this extent? Vikram is a phenomenal artist. Your accolades and even the awards cant suffice the effort hes taken to give life to Shankars dream.
