Vikram: I would like to play Gabbar Singh from Sholay!

At an exclusive chit chat with the media, the David actor opened up about he got into the character for I…

At a promotional event for I, Southern superstar, Vikram opened up about his favourite negative character from Bollywood. The actor was in Mumbai along with other celebs associated with the film to promote his upcoming film I. The Raavan actor opened up about the film and informed that there are different characters in the film that he plays and some of them have a greyish shade.

So people went ahead and asked him as to which B-Town baddies character would he love to portray onscreen if given a chance and Vikram was up with a witty reply. He said, “I would love to play Gabbar Singh. I think it was a kickass character.”

People also discussed a lot about the different looks and physical appearances of his varied characters. He was floored by the comments that came his way and he replied, “I worked out for three years the different roles that I play in the film. I had to beef up for the body builder role and lose 25 kgs for another avatar. But I have never felt so powerful and confident in my life before donning the beast avatar. It took ten days to shoot the beast song and those were the ten best days of my life.”

So did he take any body building tips from the international body building guru Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he came for the music launch of the film? “I didn’t meet Arnold as I was performing for the beast song onstage during the music launch”, said Vikram.

We are excited to see the superstar in so many different avatars in I. What about you guys ?
