Actor Vikram's role in upcoming Tamil action
film Thaandavam is inspired from Daniel Kish, a
blind American expert in human echolocation.
"One part of the character played by Vikram is
inspired from real life, but not the entire plot.
The story of the film was developed and for
the blind character's behaviour, Daniel became
the inspiration,"
In the film, Vikram plays a RAW officer who
turns blind. Telugu actor Jagapati Babu has been
roped in to play the villian, while Anushka
Shetty, Amy Jackson and Lakshmi Rai will be
seen in key roles.
