Chiyaan Vikram promotes Cobra in Trichy; says fans are like God to him

Chiyaan Vikram, said on Tuesday, that his fans were like God to him. The actor, who was in Trichy to promote his upcoming film, Cobra, stated, "It is impossible to be irritated by fans. That is not likely to happen." This was Vikram's response when someone asked about how he dealt with people who bother him with selfies and autographs.

Speaking during the Cobra promotions, Vikram added, "Even now, there was chaos outside, and the father of this college asked if I was overly concerned. I told him no way. This is what we crave. This is not something that everyone will experience. When it does, there is nothing greater than that!"

Sometimes, Vikram makes it a point to visit his fans' homes. "It will be a small house, but it will be filled with my photographs. They are incredibly devoted to me. This is (fans' love) something I can't live without."

Vikram stated how he's moved by his fans' gestures every time he meets them. "I don't know all of them, but they love me so much and that humbles me. They don't expect anything in return. Yet, fans tattoo my face or name, and donate blood and indulge in good deeds for my sake."

Speaking on the long-delayed Cobra, directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu (who made his debut with Demonte Colony in 2015), Vikram said he wants to thank all of his fans for waiting with patience. "My film is releasing in theatres after three years. The wait will be worth it because Cobra will make my fans happy!"

Cobra is set to be released on August 31. And, hearsay is that Vikram will have 25 looks in it.

The film, which has music by AR Rahman, additionally features Srinidhi Shetty, Irfan Pathan, Miya George, Roshan Mathew, Sarjano Khalid, Padmapriya, Mohammad Ali Baig, Kaniha, Mirnalini Ravi, Meenakshi, and KS Ravikumar, in pivotal roles.

Cobra's streaming rights are held by Sony LIV, and the film is distributed by Red Giant Movies.

In the meantime, Vikram will collaborate with the Demonte Colony director again, after Cobra. The Ponniyin Selvan actor confirmed in a recent Twitter Spaces that their next project will have a unique and compelling story.
