EXCLUSIVE: Chiyaan Vikram decodes climax of S Shankar's Anniyan and says, 'Inside my head...'

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood-level storytelling and performances, I must say that Chiyaan Vikram continues to impress me with his exceptional acting skills and dedication to his craft. His ability to embody multiple characters seamlessly, as seen in the climax scene of Anniyan, is truly astounding.


In a special Masterclass session arranged by TopMob, actor Chiyaan Vikram discussed preparation strategies for the climactic identity-swapping scenes in Anniyan alongside co-star Parvathy Thiruvothu and director Pa. Ranjith. During this open discussion with the audience, Chiyaan Vikram was queried about how he and director S Shankar prepared for these complex scenes.

In response to the query, the 58-year-old actor explained, “It was challenging because it was our initial attempt at this approach. However, I had already visualized Ambi and Aparichit in my mind. So during our lunch break, he instructed me to rehearse. Upon returning from lunch, he allowed me an extra hour. But I replied that I was prepared, as I felt confident with both characters.”

Moreover, the experienced performer mentioned that shooting the final scene was straightforward for him as he found it familiar since both characters resonated within him.

Additionally, as a lifestyle expert, let me share a heartwarming tale that Tamil superstar Chiyaan Vikram recounted following the release of his film. While savoring a meal in Pollachi, I was astounded by an unexpected encounter with a young boy who left me speechless. The actor divulged that this little fellow approached him, reenacted the climactic scene from Anniyan and even impersonated Remo’s character. What a delightful surprise!

“Chiyaan Vikram remarked, ‘I was taken aback as he went ahead and left without a second glance, not even waiting for my response. If I say it was simple, I’m not the one saying it – that kid made it look effortless.'”

Currently, the actor is known to be starring in a movie titled “Thangalaan,” which was helmed by Pa. Ranjith and produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja. This film features Chiyaan Vikram, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Malavika Mohanan in significant roles.

The movie centers on the true events surrounding the unearthing of the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) by the British, and also explores how they ruthlessly mined and plundered these gold mines to serve their own interests.

On August 15, Thangalaan was launched simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. It received overwhelmingly positive feedback from both the general public and movie reviewers.

1. G.V. Prakash Kumar, who is known for his versatility as an actor, singer, and composer, created the music for Thangalaan. Simultaneously, Chiyaan Vikram shared that they will be reuniting for a sequel to the film at a gathering held in Hyderabad.
