Vikram is a self-professed Mohanlal fan, but says his wife is a 'bigger fan' of the Malayalam superstar.

Vikram recently promoted the film in Kerala when he stated that he thinks it’s ‘healthy’ that both Veera Dheera Sooran and L2 Empuraan are releasing on the same day. He then revealed that his wife was a massive fan of the Malayalam superstar and said, “I am a huge fan of Lalettan, but my wife is a bigger fan than me. Whatever I do, and even if I do something very nice, she will say Mohanlal does it better. I asked her which film she would watch first (Veera Dheera Sooran or L2 Empuraan), and she said she would watch both.”
