As part of the promotional tour of the film, Chiyaan Vikram reflected on his experience and described ‘Thangalaan’ as the most challenging project of his career. Vikram said, “I have played many unique roles in films like Anniyan and Pithamagan, but Thangalaan is one of the highlights. This is the most difficult film of my career. We faced numerous challenges in every scene, including injuries during the shoot. Even the romantic scenes were difficult.”
“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 had been transported back a century,” he explained.
To fully prepare for the character, Vikram underwent six months of intense training and significantly reduced his weight. He mentioned that the psychological demands of the role were even more demanding than the physical transformation, as the daily shoot required four to five hours of makeup.
