The consummate actor Chiyaan Vikram is one of the few fortunate actors to have received his National Award for Best Actor for the film ‘Anniyan’ from the revered hands of the late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
Vikram who was deeply saddened by the passing away of the great man has shared that when he had an opportunity to meet him along with his family Dr. Kalam told him that he stopped watching films a long time back and the only actor he admired was Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan. Kalam who believed in the power of dreams blessed Vikram and also gave him a dream to become the next Sivaji Ganesan.
