Premam director Alphonse Puthren compares Vijay Sethupathi’s character in Vikram to Marvel character Thanos

Lokesh Kanagaraj's Vikram has become the talk of the town after the director created a cinematic universe like that of the Marvel series. Vikram stars Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil and Suriya in a special appearance. Premam director Alphonse Putharen, who recently watched the film, was all praise for the film. While he called Suriya's character Rolex as kickass, and Kamal Haasan's character Agent Vikram as refreshing, what caught the attention of many was his comparison of Vijay Sethupathi's character Sandhanam to Thanos. Thanos is a supervillain appearing in the American comic books, which is published by Marvel Comics. He is regarded as one of the most powerful characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Alphonse addded that he loved the characters Agent Tina and Agent Uppuliyappan as well.

Alphonse's post goes, "“I liked Agent Tina, Agent Uppuliyappan and Agent Vikram. Sandhanam was huge and heavy, equaling the Mass of Thanos ( I liked Vijay Sethupathi after a long time as Sandhanam ). Rolex was kick ass. Agent Vikram's Avatar in the last scene was refreshing. Amar helps us to understand the whole plot written by Agent Vikram. ACP Prabhanjan was neat and sleek. Police Chief Jose creates the impact he needs to. Respect and love to the Cast and Crew.”

The supporting cast for the film includes Narain, Chemban Jose Vinod, Gayathrie Shankar, Arjun Das, Kalidas Jayaram, Hareesh Peradi, Santhanabharathi, Ilango Kumaravel and Vasanthi to name a few. Music for the film is by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography is by Girish Gangadharan and editing by Philomin Raj. The stunt sequences are choreographed by AnbAriv. Vikram has emerged as the highest grossing film of the year and the fourth highest grossing film in Tamil cinema. The film is currently streaming on Disney + Hotstar.

In the meantime, Alphonse Puthren is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, Gold, which stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Nayanthara.
