Vikram is all smiles about the way ‘Raavan’ is being shaped up by Mani Ratnam. The ‘Cheeyan’ says the film is going to be a milestone in his career sine he is playing the protagonist in the Tamil version and antagonist in the Hindi version, which has not been attempted so far by any actor.

“This shows the immense faith Mani sir had on me. I was stunned to see myself in two different attitudes within minutes. And I made others on the sets too surprised. It’s all because of the master of perfection- Mani Ratnam,” he says.

Admiring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the leading lady of the film, he says, “She is stunningly beautiful and a thorough professional. Her dance movements were amazing. And the chemistry we shared for the film was great. One could feel it while watching the movie on screen."

Saying he became a very good friend of Abhishek Bachch, his other co-star in 'Raavan', Vikram says, "But Abhishek knew me very well even before 'Raavan' happened. He said he had seen 'Dhil', 'Dhool' and 'Sami' many times."
