Fans are excited for the release of Vikram's upcoming film ‘Thangalaan’, where he plays the leader of a tribal community. At the film's audio launch, Vikram spoke about the deep connection he felt with his character and how it reflected his own personal experiences.

At the audio launch, Vikram became emotional as he shared his physical struggles, revealing, “After an accident, my leg was broken, and doctors told me I would never walk again. I spent three years in the hospital and underwent 23 surgeries, but through passion and self-confidence, I made a comeback.” His revelation astonished the other cast members and left them in awe.

Co-star Parvathy Thiruvothu praised Vikram, expressing that working with him was a dream and calling him the best co-star of her career. ‘Thangalaan’, based on true events, delves into how the people of KGF fought to protect their mines from British colonisers and devised strategies to resist exploitation. The film is set in the 19th century, before India's independence.
