Vikram can afford a relived chuckle now. After all, all his hard work for Anniyan has paid rich dividends.

I am happy that people not just from the industry but also from outside call me and appreciate my performance, he says with obvious glee.

"I begin my next Maja with great joy now," he adds.

Meanwhile, Vikram happy with the response in Andhra Pradesh for his Aparachitudu (Telugu version of Anniyan) is planning to do a Telugu movie next year.

Speaking at a function organized in Hyderabad to promote Aparaichitudu, Vikram said, "I am going to do a Telugu film very soon.

This film would be launched in March 2006 and would be released on 15 August 2006. This film would also be dubbed in Tamil. It would be an action and commercial entertainer".

Vikram is sure on the right track.
