While Mani Ratnam’s forthcoming Hindi film will pair Abhishek Bachchan with his wife, its Tamil version will cast her opposite the South superstar reports Prithwish Ganguly

Superstar of South Indian cinema Vikram has been signed by Mani Ratnam for his forthcoming film, which also stars Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan in the lead. The film marks Vikram’s debut in Bollywood.

Vikram says that he has ‘a very powerful role’ in the Hindi movie. There’s an interesting twist too as Vikram reveals that the movie will be made in two languages Hindi and Tamil. Also, in the Tamil version Abhishek will not feature. Rather he will be making way for Vikram to star opposite Aishwarya.

 Vikram confirmed this news saying, “Though I have a solid role in the Hindi version, Abhishek will not be a part of the Tamil one. I’ll be paired opposite Aishwarya instead.” 

He adds, “I’m very excited to work in my debut Bollywood movie with Abhishek and Aishwarya. It’s going to be a great experience and I’m looking forward to it.”
However, Vikram was in no mood to reveal anything further. “ Shooting starts in a couple of months. I really cannot divulge anything except that I have very powerful roles in both the versions. This will certainly be my best film to date,” he states.

Vikram is a South Indian sensation having starred in some of the biggest hits including Sethu, Dhill, Gemini, Dhool, Sammy, Pithamagan and Anniyan.  Didn’t it upset him that he was not offered the lead role in the Hindi film?

“Of course, Abhishek’s role in a screen stealer. But I have a great role in the film too,” he laughs. “Though I know Hindi well, I’m not too confident of pulling it off as it requires acting coupled with dialogue delivery,” he says.

About working with Ash in the Tamil version he says, “I know both Abhishek and Aishwarya. It’s going to be a great experience. I know what Abhishek’s role is. It will be a pleasure doing that in Tamil,” he ends.
