Chiyaan Vikram blasts into his past

Now, don’t get us wrong. The actor is not taking any lessons.

We are referring to the alumni meet of 1983 plus-two batch of Vikram’s alma mater (in Yercaud), for which the actor recently headed to Kumarakom in Kerala.

Needless to say, it was a trip down memory lane for Chiyaan last week, as he went back to his school days of the early 1980s when he was known as Victor Kennedy, aka Kenny.

Usually, the meetings are held in Yercaud, but this year, former Kerala minister K M Mani’s son, Jose K Mani, a Kottayam MP, chose to host it in his constituency.

Jose, who was Vikram’s classmate at school and college, organised the meeting in a resort in Kumarakam.

Says Jose, “Kenny, whose Raavanan is a superhit in Kerala, was the cynosure of all eyes. All of us wore the traditional Kerala mundu (dhoti) and white shirt. We had a blast as we recollected old incidents in school, the best time in one’s life.”
