Early this week, at the audio launch of I` Vikram apologized to his fans that he could not meet them for the last 2 years since he was undergoing some serious physical changes for the role he signed to play. He promised them that he will be back to his routine and will compensate for the lapse.

The making of the movie showed a glimpse of Vikram, who has shed close to 30 kilos to fit into a character, and the comperor questioned him on how he survived without taking proper food for such a long time? He replied gently by saying; the character I played in the movie will be remembered for a long time, and others would regret for not playing this kind of role. In front of that proud feeling, I don`t think starving is a big deal. He went on to add that I did not speak to anyone properly for the last two years to maintain the secret behind my look, and I`m sure those people will not mistake me for my silence in the last two years after watching this movie.
