Actor Vikram Prabhu, son of actor Prabhu and grandson of the legendary Tamil film icon Sivaji Ganesan, is thrilled with the players that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have acquired in this year’s IPL mini auction.
Talking exclusively, Vikram Prabhu, who is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated film ‘Sirai’, directed by Suresh Rajakumari, expressed his thoughts: “I am very happy with what CSK has done. We should’ve gone for Cameron Green. If we didn’t go for Cameron Green, this is the only way we could’ve gone. It was just a shuffle up of the entire mindset of CSK. We should’ve done this a long time back.”
A Great Time for Young Talents
The actor feels this is the perfect moment to introduce young players, especially with Captain Cool M. S. Dhoni available to mentor them. “When Dhoni is there, we bring in these young talents and nurture them under him, nothing like it,” he adds.
Vikram Prabhu is both a cricket enthusiast and devoted CSK fan. “I started watching cricket because of my grandfather, and I’ve loved it ever since. My dad loves it too, but he gets a little tense when the matches get very tight. So he’s like, ‘You watch it and tell me.’ As a kid, I’ve seen test matches for five days straight,” he shares with a smile.
Passion for IPL Matches
Clearly passionate about the IPL, Vikram remarks on his viewing habits. “Before starting to act, I used to have season tickets to the IPL. Then, once work started, I’d go to the stadium whenever I could. This time, I’m guessing I’m going to be filled with work during summer. If you look at the entire city, everyone works during January and December. I’ll be working during April, May, June,” he says with a laugh, concluding, “This time too, I think that’s going to happen.”
