Now a rethink

Once bitten twice shy, they say. Vikram sure seems so.

There were reports that Vikram, after Majaa, would act in the Tamil remake of Malayalam hit Chandupottu which starred Dileep in the lead role.

His Majaa, a remake of Malayalam hit Thommanum Makkalum got released this Deepavali. Unfortunately the movie has had only an average response at the box-office.

Even in Andhra Pradesh, the Telugu dubbing too had a lukewarm response. Especially when compared to Anniyan, Majaa has put up a mediocre show at the theatres.

Now all these seem to have prompted Vikram to think twice before commencing Chandupottu in Tamil.

As of now, he has decided to do a commercial entertainer now for Surya Movies to be directed by Lingusamy. Only if the movie clicks well and completes a successful run, Vikram would think about commencing the remake, say sources close to the actor.
