Vikram, who plays the lead star in Deiva Thirumagan, will appear as an 18-year-old boy. The actor has undergone rigorous exercise to tone down his body so that he could fit in the role. Sources in Kollywood say that the scene in which he appears as young lad has come out well and his efforts have not gone waste.
It may be mentioned here that Suriya has appeared as a school-going kid in Aadhavan and this created a lot of hype for that film prior to its release.
Deiva Thirumagan is directed by Madarasapattinam fame Vijay and has Anushka and Amala Paul playing the female leads.

You guessed it right! South Indian superstar Vikram has been chosen for an honorary doctorate in the field of Fine Arts by the University of Milan, Italy.
Vikram announced this on Wednesday while inaugurating Milan - 2011, an annual national inter-college cultural festival at SRM University in Kattankulathur. Music legend Balamuralikrishna and University Vice Chancellor P. Sathyanarayanan were also present on the occasion.
Vikram, who fielded a volley of questions on his professional and personal life from the students during the interactive event, said it is a pure coincidence that he is attending Milan culturals at SRM and made the announcement of his getting honoured by the university. Nearly 7000 students from 200 colleges and universities across the nation are attending the three-day festival.

Suriya is often reported to be indulging in quite a bit of politics to grab opportunities. It is also said that Suriya is the de facto owner of Studio Green which is owned de jure by GE Gnanavel Raja. He is also reported to have tried to grab the opportunity of starring in Nanban and sought a very high price from Shankar and Gemini Film Circuit.
Suriya has prompted Mani Ratnam to think in a way that last time Raavanan has ended up in loss along with its Hindi version as both starred Vikram. The actor’s presence again in Ponniyin Selvan will not help matters, which is what Mani Ratnam is reported to be contemplating.
Suriya has a wide market in both Tamil and Telugu which has made Mani Ratnam think towards casting Suriya as it already has Mahesh Babu to draw the Telugu audiences. Casting Suriya will result in very good collections in both Tamil and Telugu.
As of now, the casting choice is Vijay, Vikram and Mahesh Babu but it seems Suriya will take Vikram’s place. Suriya showed interest at the right time to be cast in Ponniyin Selvan for which Mani Ratnam is likely to oblige. It could be remembered that Ayutha Ezhuthu which had Suriya in the lead was a failure. However, Suriya was not a star as he is now.

It is being rumored in Kollywood that the Vikram starrer, directed by AL Vijay has been titled Pitha. Earlier, Vikram and Vijay had denied naming their film Deiva Magan which had the media wondering about the title.
Further, Ameer is said to be holding the Deiva Magan title for a film he is to direct with debutant Vikram Prabhu, son of actor Prabhu.
With the title already taken, Vikram and Vijay were looking for a suitable name for their project and are said to have settled for Pitha. However, an official confirmation on this is awaited.
Ponniyin Selvan that is with different Tamil fantastic work of fiction from the exact same title. We all know which Surya is occupied with lots of different projects recently and also the information that Mani had a choice for Vikram within the lead didn’t sit perfectly together with Surya since the hero wasn’t fascinated for any supplementary function within the film.
We have now come to understand that Vijay and Vishal happen to be combined with the cast together with Vikram. Surya as of this moment doesn’t appear to be an integral part of the picture as Vijay appears to be catching every one of the hotspots previously reserved for Surya, previously it had been Nanban and today it’s exactly the same situation with Ponniyin Selvan.

The forthcoming film of Vikram, which is being directed by ‘Madraspattinam’ fame Vijay, is slated for an April release. “Deivamagan is one of the titles we are considering, but a final decision is yet to be made,” the director says.
“We have decided to present the film to the audience as a bigger summer treat by releasing it in April. But producer Mohan will take the final call,” Vijay, who earlier directed ‘Kireedam’ and ‘Poi Solla Porom’, says.
Heaping laurels on Vikram, he says, “He is one of the finest actors we have. For each and every scene, he would come out with five different expressions, asking him to select one of them. Such a great artiste he is.”
Saying that Anushka and Amala Paul are very much part of the project, he says, “both have good roles and they are giving their best. The film is no remake of a Hollywood flick, as claimed by some people.”
Deeksha Seth and Abhinaya play lead roles next to Vikram and Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music composer to this flick. Singanamala Ramesh has announced that this film will go on floors on March 1st.
Sources confirmed that this untitled movie is an ambitious project and will cement Vikram's position as an actor in Telugu and Hindi too. Vikram had earlier debuted in Hindi with ‘Raavan’ which bombed at the box office. Director Sushi has camped in Mumbai to work on the details of this film.
"We will start shooting in the next one and a half month. The tri-lingual will release in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu. It will have loads of action and will be a milestone movie for Vikram again. It will be a bigger hit than ‘Pithamagan’ and ‘Anniyan’, Producer Ramesh said.

Vikram Next Movie
| Monday, January 10, 2011
Realising that only good scripts are going to take him forward, Vikram has said yes to a film to be directed by Suseendran. This film will start sometime in August next year. Suseedran after tasting big time popularity in ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’ and ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ is currently busy with the off beat film 'Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai' produced by Gautham Menon.
Meanwhile Vikram is also putting pieces together to shift gear. He has walked out of the films of Boopathy Pandian and Vikram Kumar. Even his planned with Selvaraghavan is shelved. The only film committed by Vikram as his next is the one directed by 'Madraspattinam' Vijay which has Amala Paul as one of the heroines to Vikram.
Casting: Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Priyamani, Prithviraj, Prabhu, Karthik, Munna, Ranjitha.
Direction: Mani Ratnam
Music: A R Rahman
Production: Madras Talkies
Let’s get this straight. Raavanan is not Mani Ratnam’s attempt to venerate the epic villain whose name the movie is titled after. It’s not also a study on complex human relationships weighed down by trust, conviction or quandary. It’s a pure cinematic retreat spanning across the dense jungles of Southern and Central India with exceptional cinematography (Santosh Sivan and Raavanan Manikandan), by-now cult songs (A R Rahman) and interesting performances by its lead actors. And the significance of the movie appears in the same order mentioned above.
Mani’s conviction of illustrating an unachievable love story between the two leads (Aishwarya Rai and Vikram) is palpable from the very start of the movie. However, the blossoming of love doesn’t quite form the back bone of Raavanan so much. The movie digresses into other aspects - a man hunt, flash backs, revenge drama and so on and so forth. The man hunts lack dexterity, the revenge drama that is triggered by the death of Vikram’s sister seems engineered and Prithviraj often comes across as stiff – showing unnecessary tautness in the character that is probably designed to defy emotions (may be because he is in his Khakis?).
But all that is absolved, as the movie stunningly unfolds often drenching itself in the monsoonal deluge making you feel rain-soaked. If you have any doubt about Mani’s eternal love affair with rain, Raavanan stands as a remarkable testimony. It rains in the song sequences, in encounters and in emotional scenes. And at other instances, the sky is constantly downcast as if threatening to pour down. And the cinematography captures it all in delightful exuberance.
For the most part, Vikram owns the movie seizing it magnificently even from Mani’s own hands. His love blooms out of astonishment at the outwardly courage displayed by Aishwarya Rai and he makes those scenes persuasive for the viewer. He infuses life into the character and shows no jaggedness, falling for a married woman thus replicating, probably the characters of Raavanan. Suhasini’s profound dialogues come in handy in many places and the viewer is made to read between lines quite often.
Aishwarya Rai’s semblance of the late Padmini is unmistakable, it could be her dialogues or the way she manages her composure attentively even in the hardest of terrains the character puts her through. The lady sure has attempted to reach on par with Vikram in performance in many sequences. Kudos to Mani for a dignified portrayal of his lead woman. There is a refreshing strength in Ragini’s character brought out well by Aishwarya.
Prithvi plays a toughie police officer and somehow his character portrayal leaves a few questions unanswered: for instance, his love for Aishwarya Rai is weighed down by his commitment and that singular fact does not come across convincingly.
Priyamani plays the ill-fated Vennila and leaves a lump in your throat. Karthik in his second innings steals the show. Prabhu and Munna play support roles that ebb and flow with the movie.
Cinematography by Santosh Sivan is brilliant and has rendered the perfect support for Mani. His probing lens takes the audience through the thick jungles, the mighty waterfalls and the rough terrains of India. Music and art direction play equally momentous role in Raavanan as its lead actors. If not for Rahman’s songs and background score, Vikram’s unrequited love wouldn’t have been so painful for us. The songs have already been much debated about and leave no scope for further discussion. One word though: it’s not for nothing “Usure Pogude…” has achieved a cult status. You tend to try hard not to fall in love but fail with the song as Vikram heaves a sigh of relief, having seen Aishwarya Rai breathing and alive after a steep fall.
Sameer Chanda’s art direction complements the ruggedness and splendid beauty of the nature in the jungles so well you refuse to believe anything is man-made.
A major drawback is the lack of ‘Tamil’ feel in the film and its music; it more appears for the audience north of Vindhyas in many places. What Mani loses out is the pace over the later part of the first half; he gains it back with a major twist in the climax. Although you have a few questions about the incidents leading to the finale, those are done away with - thanks to the elegiac climax.
Director Seeman had initially planned Pagalavan with Vikram in the lead and this venture was to have been produced by director Bala. However, Pagalavan did not take off and had to be shelved for various reasons. With Seeman now finding producer Kalaipuli S Thanu to finance this project, the work has begun. When Vikram was roped for this project, there was a buzz that Vijay was under consideration but Seeman had denied it. However, with the project now shifting hands from Bala to Kalaipuli S Thanu, it looks like Vijay will play the lead role.
There was a talk in Kollywood that the Selvaraghavan-Vikram project has been halted. But enquiries now revealed that the director had insisted on bulk dates from Vikram, which the actor was not able to allot. The reason for seeking bulk dates, according to the director’s camp, is that the shooting can progress only in misty climate – a major requirement for this film. It has to be mentioned here that the crew of this film camped in Ladakh, where the climate was conducive and completed the first schedule.
Vikram is currently busy with a couple of films including Vedi and Selvaraghavan is directing a Telugu flick with Rana Daggubati in the lead. There are strong expectations that Vikram and Selvaraghavan will join together after completing their respective assignments.
