Vikram turns 52 : Everything to know about the Tamil superstar on his birthday

"Happy birthday Vikram," the walls of social media are painted with this greeting as the Tamil actor turns 52. The actor is cherished by many in the industry, but what was the last Tamil actor Vikram's hit? It came a long ago - "I" and ever since then it seems a dry spell!

Despite a string of box office failures, he remains a beloved and respected figure in the Tamil film industry. Had this been the case with any other superstar, they might not been able to sustain themselves, but it's Vikram.

Despite his long dry spell at the box office, Vikram is still an active player in the Tamil film industry and is currently involved in the production of Thangalaan, a highly anticipated film directed by Pa Ranjith.


Karthik Subbaraj's Mahaan could have been the much-needed success to end Vikram's streak of box office failures, but the film was released straight to OTT platforms. It's unclear if the decline started with "10 Endrathukulla" or if it's been a gradual decline since "Anniyan," with occasional hits like "Deiva Thirumagal."

It's one thing to simply remain active in the industry despite setbacks, but it's another to consistently produce films that flop spectacularly. Despite this track record, Vikram's films continue to have big budgets and ambitious scales. Even when "Cobra" failed, he was still able to collaborate with Ranjith. This raises the question of how he manages to remain relevant in an industry that typically punishes and forgets its stars.

Vikram began his career as a model and made his acting debut in the 1990s "En Kadhal Kanmani. He gained recognition with his performance in "Sethu", a film that earned him his first Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor.

Despite a lot of box office failures in recent years, Vikram is loved in the Tamil film industry. One possible explanation is that audiences appreciate his commitment to his roles and his love for cinema. Even in his unsuccessful films, Vikram's passion and dedication shine through, earning him the respect and admiration of fans and fellow industry professionals alike.
