April 19, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Vikrum Kumar who is all set to break into Bollywood with a bang in Jagbir Dahiya’s Kuch Kariye alongside Sukhwinder Singh does not seem to have a smooth sailing. Vikrum Kumar is all set to take the industry by storm with his daredevil action stunts and charming personality after the film Kuch Kariye releases.

Well! The film Kuch Kariye will be releasing on the 23rd of April but Vikrum seems to be irate the way publicity is happening.” Yeah! I am more than surprised and shocked as I was promised coverage in the publicity. Not having a single poster of mine anywhere is not only making me upset but it is giving me a right kick at the right place and making me realize the double standards of the people in this industry.” He further adds that, “Having a good acting caliber not only made Sukhwinder angry but his obnoxious behavior made me feel sick. I remember we had a scene together where everyone praised me right, left and center. Sukhwinder just turned red and blue and walked into his van keeping all of us waiting for hours together for the next shot. I fail to understand this attitude from a well-known singer but I understand his state of mind as he is fully aware of the fact that he is debuting in the film and is unable to give his best.”

We further quiz if his shots in the qawali song have been edited? “Yeah! I had to literarily fight for my shots not to be edited in the qawali song. Sukhwinder desperately wanted my shots to be deleted as everyone from the unit praised my performances and he would just turn sulk and walk away. One can understand the behavior when it is repeated off and on. I never expected him to behave in this manner, sometimes he would be good but most of the time he smelt of jealousy springing from within him” Confesses Vikrum.

Refreshing his memory while having worked with Seema Biswas in his debut film Godfather he adds, “Working with Seema Biswas was a treat I must say. She is a humble and a helpful actor. Contrary to Sukhwinder’s attitude she, I must say has a respectable attitude. She helped me come out of the fear that a first timer possesses initially. Thanks to her, I felt quite comfortable!” He signs off.

Sukhwinder remained unavailable for comment.
