Vikram goes MKT way

The latest news from the Kanthaswamy camp is that Vikram besides playing the lead role has sung four songs and enacts the same on screen. After M K Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, this is perhaps the first time that an actor has voiced for all of his songs in Tamil cinema, said director Susi Ganesan.

Heaping laurels on Vikram, the director said, "I happened to hear him sing once. Impressed by his voice, I suggested that he should sing the songs for the film. This idea was carried out to both music composer Devi Sri Prasad and producer Kalaipuli S Thanu. Both agreed and we recorded one song initially. His work was so professional, that we started to use his voice for the other songs too'.

On his part, Devi Sri Prasad, said, 'Vikram is one of the rare singers, who can sing in both low and high scales. His voice has a unique feel. He emotes through his voice and it was great working with him'.

On his part Vikram said, "I thank my producer, director and music composer for making this happen. The songs were peppy and good. With Devi Sri Prasad's guidance, I managed to pull it off'.

Asked whether he would explore playback singing as another career option, Vikram, said, 'no idea as of now. If time permits, lets us think about it'.

Dwelling on the movie, producer Thanu said, "Plans are on to dub the movie in Spanish along with the audio album which will get released in the language. The movie has come really good and conveys a strong message."

Susi Ganesan, said, "We are confident that the movie which has shaped up with utmost co -operation from Vikram will make it big. We are not eyeing for any awards, but confident that any award for best entertainer will reach us."
