Chiyaan Vikram makes his Twitter debut ahead of Cobra and Ponniyin Selvan release

Fans of Chiyaan Vikram were in for a surprise when the actor made his Twitter entry with a bang. The actor dropped a video of himself as his first ever post in which he assured his fans that it was indeed him on the social media platform. "This is me, It's indeed me, your Chiyaan Vikram." The actor, who is seen sporting a rusty beard in the video , said that the look was for his film with director Pa Ranjith. "This is my look for Ranjith's film. I am not in disguise."

The actor also went on to state the reason behind joining the social media platform. "I was told by many people that I could convey a lot of things to my fans through Twitter. I was convinced. But I guess I am a tad late to the game, 10-15 years later after Twitter was launched. I feel this is a good time. I have heard that there is a lot of love around the world and I wanted to experience it a bit. " The actor, who then switched to English, stated to his fans across the world that he loved them all. The actor has already got more than 27K followers on day one and it's only increasing by the minute.

The big move comes ahead of the release of two of Vikram's films - Ajay Gnanamuthu's Cobra and Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan. While Vikram plays a brilliant mathematician in Cobra who goes to commit high-profile crimes, the actor plays the fierce Aditya Karikalan in Ponniyin Selvan. Cobra is slated to release on August 31 and Ponniyin Selvan will hit screens on September 30.

In the meantime, Vikram has moved on to Ranjith's untitled film, which is tentatively being referred to as Chiyaan 61. The film is said to be a raw and rustic subject that revolves around some real-life incidents set in KGF in the pre-independence period. In the meantime, director Gautham Menon had recently dropped a picture with Vikram indicating that he is resuming work on the long-delayed Dhruva Natchathiram.
