Not many are aware that the main lead in the upcoming hard hitting film – Ya Rab, is played by this tall, bulky hunk.
He is Vikram Singh is from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, and is popularly known as Locovicky among his fans.
Vikram plays the pivotal role of Imraan, a straightforward Islamic guy, who is married to Amreen, who becomes a victim of the terrorist attack, and goes into coma.
The terrorists do not want Amreen to come out of coma, while her husband Imraan wants her back.
Ya Rab is the story of a kind hearted Islamic guy Imraan, and the story is focused around him.
It is commendable that this Hindu boy played the role of a religious Islamic guy in the film so convincingly that would fetch him mass acclaim as well as appreciation from the critics too.
Vikram Singh took the plunge in acting with the movie Mumbai Godfather (2005), directed by Deepak Balraj Vij. He prefers to perform stunts on his own in his films.
After getting a break in Godfather, Vikram has acting in a number of films like Souten (2006), the horror flick from Ramsays – Aatma (2006), Trump Card and Kuch Kariye (2010), Rebel (2012), and then in Ya Rab.
His forthcoming films are an untitled Telugu film directed by Sukumar, Heropanti and a Taml film Manadhi Maayam Seidhai (MMS).
A brief one to one with Vikram Singh:
What is Ya Rab about?
It is a Love story, with a twist and a thriller where the innocent Islamic family gets unfortunately trapped. A fatwa is
ordered against the protagonist’s wife who is an innocent victim of the incident.
Was it difficult to play the role of an Islamic man in the film?
Not at all. In fact I found my part so interesting that I can understand the plight of the innocent Muslim guys who get entangled in this anti national activities.
Can you explain further?
Look, just because there is a rotten apple in the basket, that doesn’t mean that all the apples are rotten.
What is your role in the film?
My character that of Imraan Khan is a victim of terrorist activity, which unfortunately happens to be masterminded and executed by his own family members. Imraan is suppressed from both sides between Islamic talks and terrorist activities.
What about the non-Islamic audience? Whats there in this film for them?
They would be so engrossed in this edge of the seat tense film, which would ultimately give them a deeper view of Islamic teachings. Islam says love all human beings, and be kind to them.
