Mumbai, May 26: The theatrical trailer of Mani Ratnam’s upcoming RAAVAN is being screened across most Big Cinema theaters showing KITES. Amidst superb response from the audience the one star that grabbed most eyeballs and had the audience zapped was not Aishwarya-Abhishek (taking nothing from their super act in the film) or even ex-comedy king Govinda. It was the South sensation in the real sense, superstar Vikram! His terrific overpowering personality, macho good looks well toned physique coupled with his intense expressions, dwarfed everyone in comparison and the audience was heard questioning during the interval about the second hero of RAAVAN, Vikram.
Though he was seen in the badly dubbed APARICHIT, most cinegoers in the Hindi belt may be unaware that Vikram is a huge star down South. A self made actor who really had to struggle very hard to make his mark and is a gift that maverick director Mani Ratnam is presenting to Bollywood and the Hindi film audience via RAAVAN.
