Interestingly, the inclusion of a forefront male actor of other industries into a Malayalam film was a new-cool during the 90s, which indeed helped Vikram make a place in the hearts of Malayalam audiences.
When Vikram Was Asked To Choose Between Mohanlal And Mammootty
For quite a lot of people, choosing between Mohanlal and Mammootty is still a difficult task. Well, during a media interaction, Vikram was also asked to select a favourite from the two Superstars of Mollywood. Interestingly, the actor said that he can never choose between the two as he has worked with Mammootty in almost three films and his wife is a huge Lalettan fan. He added that his wife, Shailaja Balakrishnan, who hails from Kerala's Thalassery makes him watch all the movies of Mohanlal, whenever it gets released. Chiyaan Vikram said that he has also become a fan of Lalettan and therefore he can never choose between them.
