Vijayakanth : Vikraman


According to director Vikraman, Vijayakanth would surely be in the reckoning for a national award for his acting in 'Mariyadhai.' The film is produced by D Siva for Amma Creations, and directed by Vikraman. He teams up with Vijayakanth after 'Vaanathai Pola' and the actor has a dual role in this. Vijayakanth plays both father and son role. Meena and Meera Jasmine pair with Vijayakanth. Ambika pairs with the father Vijayakanth. Ramesh Khanna, Shanmugaraj and Sampath also feature in the film. Camera is by Andrew, music by Vijay Anthony. Story, screenplay, dialogue and direction are by Vikraman. The film was launched yesterday at Chennai. Vijayakanth addressed the press on the occasion. "This has evolved as a totally rural story. I am doing the dual role of father and son. Vikraman's policy is to write the story and then hunt for the suitable hero. But he has evolved 'Mariyadhai' specially for me. This is a good story so I postponed doing 'Virudhagiri' and will act before that in Vikraman's direction." "Vijayakanth should have received an award for 'Vanathai Pola' itself. Due to certain reasons he did not. But he is sure to get an award for 'Mariyadhai,'" said Vikraman with confidence.
