Actor Vikram recently returned to the sets of his forthcoming Tamil film Thangalaan and has been keeping busy with the rehearsals. Vikram recently marked the release of his film Ponniyin Selvan 2. He sustained a rib injury in the process and will be sidelined for some time. Suryanarayanan, the publicist for Vikram, tweeted the news.
He verified the news through a statement which read, “Thank you for all the love and appreciation Aditha Karikalan aka Chiyaan Vikram has received and for the astounding response to PS2 from all over the world. Chiyaan sustained an injury during rehearsals resulting in a broken rib due to which he will not be able to join his Thangalaan unit for a short while. He thanks everyone for your love and promises to be back on his feet and rocking at the earliest,” he wrote.
Fans reacted to his tweet, someone wrote, “Hope nothing serious. Wishing Vikram recovers soon and returns to action (sic).” Another user tweeted: “Get well soon Vikram sir (sic).”
Vikram, who would be featured as the chief of a small tribe, will be shown in Pa. Ranjith’s first cooperation with Vikram. On the eve of Vikram’s birthday last month, Ranjith posted a new poster and a making-of video on Twitter, “Happy birthday to my #Thangalaan, @chiyaan sir. Presenting you a slice of flesh, a grand making visual video of Thangalaan as our humble tribute to Chiyaan (sic)”.
Because of this role in Thangalaan, Vikram had a significant bodily change. To look the part, he shed his muscles in addition to losing weight. He trimmed the front of his head, leaving him with an unruly bun and a half-shaved head.
