Vikram vowed to stay in a big hotel after seeing Mammootty there: One day I’ll…

Vikram, an actor, reminisced of a day when he first began his career and stayed in a modest lodge. In Thiruvananthapuram, where he was promoting his forthcoming movie Ponniyin Selvan: 1, Vikram mentioned spotting Mammootty relaxing at the renowned Hotel Pankaj. He admitted making a promise to himself at the time to “one day stay at that hotel.”

With En Kadhal Kanmani in 1990, Thanthu Vitten Ennai, and Kaaval Geetham in 1991, Vikram made his acting debut. The next year, he appeared in Meera, and in 1993, Dhruvam. In 1999, Vikram had a pivotal role in Bala’s feature film debut, Sethu.

According to India Express, Vikram stated at the occasion that some of the attendees were not even alive in 1992 or 1993, when you guys were young. I had just finished a film at the time called Meera. My second film, it was. I was in a magazine when director Joshiy phoned his manager Shanmugam to tell him that he wanted me to portray the role of Bhadran in his movie Dhruvam.

While Mammootty slept at the Pankaj hotel, Vikram remembered staying at a simple lodge, which inspired him to swear. I therefore arrived here. I was residing in a tiny lodge in this area. Today, I presented it to my family. Back then, when I went on walks, no one recognised me. One day while I was strolling along, a man called my name. He acknowledged that he is familiar with me and left. He avoided speaking to me. I used to pass Mammukka lounging at the Pankaj hotel as I was strolling down MG Road. Then, I resolved that I would visit the hotel sometime. Although I didn’t stay at the Pankaj hotel, I now have the opportunity to do so.

And I’m ecstatic right now. Only one person recognised me that day. But right now, nothing makes me happier than hearing you folks call my name. It has been a while since I worked on a Malayalam movie. But even so, you celebrate and shower affection on my films. That’s great, the actor continued.

Vikram recently played two characters in the Tamil movie Cobra: a brilliant mathematician and an assassin-hacker. Despite having a significant budget and being filmed over three years, the movie did poorly at the box office. Irrfan Pathan, a former Indian pacer, Srinidhi Shetty, and Roshan Mathew are also featured in Cobra.

His next appearance will be in Mani Ratnam’s epic Ponniyin Selvan: I, which is based on Kalki’s novel of the same name. September 30 will mark the movie’s opening. He is then prepared to work with director Pa. Ranjith for the first time. The undertaking is thought to be India’s largest 3D action movie.
