FILM AND TELEVISION WORK






 Apart from acting, Vikram has also been a part of other film-making processes with credits as a playback singer and as an assistant director. In 2000, Vikram and actress Meena launched a pop album titled Kadhalism, which the pair would sing and appear in music videos for, although the project was completed without much promotion.[92] Following the success of Bharathwaj's music for Vikram's 2002 film Gemini, Vikram sang a version of the hit song "O Podu!" for the extended version of the album.[36] During the making of Kanthaswamy in 2009, the music composer Devi Sri Prasad had asked Vikram to sing a few rough tracks during the film’s song composition in Malaysia. The producers were impressed with his voice and Vikram ended up singing four songs in the film.[93] Furthermore, Vikram also recorded all four tracks in the Telugu version of the album titled Mallana.[94] He then went on to sing for a film he was unrelated to, by lending five different voices in "Meghame" for G. V. Prakash Kumar's album in Madrasapattinam.[95] He sang two further songs under Prakash Kumar for his Deiva Thirumagal, singing in the voice of his character, an adult with the maturity of a six year old.[96] In 2011 he sang the song "Laddu Laddu" for his film Rajapattai under composer Yuvan Shankar Raja's direction.[97] Vikram announced his own production company Reel Life Entertainment in July 2009 and announced that Sasikumar would direct his first film, the action thriller Easan, featuring Samudrakani, Vaibhav, Abhinaya and Aparnaa Bajpai.[98] However after 90% of the shoot had been completed, Vikram pulled out of the venture citing that Sasikumar had overshot his budget and the director eventually bought and released the film.[99] Vikram worked as the assistant director under Shafi in Majaa, and has mentioned he would like to direct a film in the future.[57]
