My friends and family were my villains: Vikram

Vikram’s relentless transformation for various roles in I has earned him buckletload of admirers but the fact that his family and friends became villains in the process remains true. “I went from 86 kgs to about 55 kgs in no time. The first few months were all right, but after eight months of starvation, my villains were my family and friends,” says Vikram on a funny note.

There were times when his wife cooked sumptuous biriyani for the household when he was in diet.”I would go and lock myself up in my room, but somebody or the other would come and ask me if I’d have just a little bit. I started reacting really angrily because I was crazed with the deprivation. I would start yelling ‘vendam nu sonnen la’ (I told you I didn’t want any),” even if they asked once,” adds Vikram.

I is all set for a grand release tomorrow with premieres in select countries today.
