Article Name[edit]

Chiyaan is the title given by fans, and the actor known as Vikram. It is best to give 'Vikram' as article name.

Vikram's birthname[edit]

What is Vikram's real birthname now? On his official website (http://www.chiyaanvikram.net/biography.php), it's mentioned that it's "Vikram K Vinod"! How do you people say, his real name is "John Kennedy"? (On his official website itself, Vikram only mentions, that he is popularly known as "Kenny"!) Johannes003 (talk) 17:18, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It has been reported in Yahoo movies that that is his birth name. How reliable a source that is, I don't know. Pasting the link here for consideration. http://in.movies.yahoo.com/news-detail/23818/From-John-Kennedy-Vikram-42-years.html Nvarma85 (talk) 12:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vikram's birth name is Kennedy John Victor. See this picture http://www.plumeriamovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Vikram-Old-PIC.jpg

He is known as Kenny among his close circles. His father John Victor's alias name is Vinod Raj. In his official fan website, though it's mentioned as Vikram K Vinod, contraction of Vikram Kennedy Vinod (an amalgamation of his screen name + original name + alias name of his father), it's not appropriate to be take that name as his birth name — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:9:7E82:2168:165:A6AD:1248:DFEF (talk) 01:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vikram's DOB[edit]

According to the IMDB web page his birth information is 17 April 1960, Paramakudi, Tamil Nadu, India http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1417314/bio —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumithar (talk • contribs) 17:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Chiyaan Vikram"[edit]

This isnt his stage name. Its just "Vikram". By this logic, we will have to rename Rajinikanth to "superstar rajini"--Sodabottle (talk) 13:16, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additional info[edit]

@ Commander _{(Ping Me)}

Found some info abt a planned film called Thrill featuring Vikram and Laila. [1]. Could you bother to add them somewhere? -- Sriram Vikram (talk) 08:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The news was published before 11 years. Looks like a dropped project which hardly got any coverage. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 11:44, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could add a couple sentences and cite the reference. Doesn't the article have anything about dropped projects? I saw 3 dropped films being mentioned, Selvaraghavan, Vikram Kumar and Boopathy Pandian? -- Sriram Vikram (talk) 16:17, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you were asking to add that film in the filmography table. Never mind, it can be added in the relevant section if you feel it's notable. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 04:34, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@ Vensatry Another info that Vikram was slated to made an album with Pravin Mani [2]. Please add these info. Keep the article updated with his recent works too. Regards -- Sriram Vikram (talk) 14:40, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
