Vikram's statement
Why the role was extremely tough for Vikram
Earlier, Vikram had said, "I've played many unique roles in films like Anniyan and Pithamagan, but Thangalaan is a standout."
"This is the most difficult film of my career. We encountered numerous challenges in every scene, including injuries during the shoot."
"The real challenge was portraying characters from the British colonial era and indigenous tribes—people we didn't fully understand. We had to embody them, not just act like them. It felt like we were transported back a century."
