Career

Vikram Singh made his film debut as a producer with the 1986 Telugu-language film Naya Anubhav. He subsequently became an executive producer for several Hindi and Tamil films including Judaai (1997) and The Terrorist (1997) before becoming an online producer and taking care of the United States shoot for Pukar (2000). He debuted as a producer in Tamil cinema with Shaam's debut film 12B (2001). He produced the film under the studio, Film Works.[1] Debutante Shaam was signed for the lead role after meeting with the director, Jeeva and with him.[2][3] After the release of 12B, Vikram Singh produced the Telugu dubbed version of the film.[4] The promtions of 12B garnered acclaim with Shaam gaining film offers before the film's release.[5] Despite the pre-release hype of the film, the film failed to be successful at the box office. Despite the failure of his previous venture, Vikram Singh went on to work with Shaam and music director Harris Jayaraj again for Priyadarshan's Lesa Lesa (2003). The film was a remake of the successful Malayalam film Summer in Bethlehem (1998).[6][7] In order to concentrate on the venture, Vikram Singh put the film Acham Thavir starring Madhavan and Jyothika on hold.[8] In order to avoid piracy, he released the soundtrack of Lesa Lesa at a cheap rate.[9]
