Arnold Schwarzenegger amazed by Vikram’s effort for Ai

Vikram’s Ai has been the cynosure of all eyes in Kollywood ever since Aascar Ravichandran announced that the film will be released for Deepavali. Hollywood star, body-building champion Arnold Schwarzenegger is the latest to get impressed by Vikram’s relentless commitment for Shankar’s Ai. Co-producer, Ramesh Babu of Aascar Films, met Arnold at his yesterday in Los Angeles and invited him for the audio launch, which the Terminator actor duly accepted.

“During their dinner, my brother had shown footage from Ai to Arnold , and the actor had remarked that the visuals looked like they were from a Hollywood film. He was especially impressed with the video showing Vikram’s efforts to transform himself for the character. Being a champion body builder himself, Arnold was impressed by how Vikram could manage to put on a weight of 120kg and later bring it down drastically to weigh a mere 50kg for this role,” confirms Aascar to a daily.
