VIKRAM

No theatre was ready to exhibit the film sethu! What they got ultimately was the noon show in a suburban theatre. The first show barely attracted an audience. Vikram was close to tears. Through he continued going to the theatre for the first few days, he was beginning to believe his dream to become an actor would remain just that -- a dream. Slowly, people started trickling in. After a few days, they got a bigger theatre in the city. Again, the screening was limited to the noon show. The first screening had an audience of just 25 people. But Sethu once again worked its magic. After a week, the theatre owners called the producer to say they would screen the film at their regular shows.In no time, the film was running in nine theatres in Chennai. It completed 75 days in each one of them. For the first time in his life as an actor, Vikram was mobbed by people when he went to see the film. They lifted him, kissed him and almost ripped his shirt off. He was thrilled.Sethu was declared a hit. At last, Vikram's 10 long years of struggle had paid off. For the first time, his telephone started ringing as producers and directors began chasing him.But Vikram did not sign a single film in the next 65 days! That was because no script interested him. He had waited for 10 years for Sethu and didn't want the beautiful moment to just vanish by making a wrong move.
