The Tamilnadu State Film and the Kalaimamani awards this year have made me more responsible, says Vikram, who is gearing up to commence shooting of his movie Bheema to be directed by Lingusamy.

Every movie is like writing an examination. I want to pass out this in flying color, Vikram says and adds, 'Bheema would be a stern test'.

On rumors that Bollywood bimbo Katrina Kaif might play the heroine in Bheema, Vikram says, 'I am surprised at such a news. We have not finalized the cast as yet. But for the story, nothing is ready'.

On reports that he would be acting in a Hindi movie, Vikram, says, 'I got an offer to act in a Hindi movie alongside Amitabh Bachchan. However it could not materialize. Then a couple of other big offers including one with director Ramgopal Verma came to me. However Hindi movies are time-consuming and may take a year to complete. Hence I am in no rush to do a movie in Bollywood'.
