What did Vikram say about 16 Vayathinile

Speaking about 16 Vayathinile, Vikram said, "There is a film called 16 Vayathinile, which is of Kamal Haasan sir's and made by Bharathiraja sir. It is a very raw film and very rustic. It shows the village life in the true sense. It has got Sridevi, and Rajinikanth sir plays the villain. It is an iconic film. I may not remember my dialogues but I remember every line from that film. If I wanted to make a remake, I would love to do a Kamal sir's character. He plays a cripple, and village bumpkin. I don't think even he can recreate that performance of his.”

Vikram was in all praise of the film which featured three stalwarts of the era. “Rajini sir had not yet become a superstar, and Kamal sir was bigger star then. It is a very beautiful film,” he added.
