There's no wonder that none other than ace director Shankar heaped praises on actor Vikram and called him as "Mr Steel" for his dedication and commitment.
Vikram's rigorous efforts in method acting where he mould himself and his body for his roles in films have been heavily acclaimed. Especially, the way he transforms his body to suit the roles has been lauded. The above picture of Vikram, a still from his upcoming I, has been circulating online and this still is perfect example for how Vikram transformed himself as soon as he stepped into this role.
In the film, Vikram essays the character called 'Lingesan', who considers Arnold Schwarzenegger as a role model and his only aim in life is to win the Mr. Tamil Nadu title. Shankar had crafted the hair style of
Vikram by taking the front curl look of the younger Arnold Schwarzenegger as a reference. As per director Shankar, among all get-ups in the film, the hunchbacked man character was the most difficult one to sketch.
