BIOGRAPHY

John Kennedy (born on April 17, 1966, Paramakkudi, Ramnad district, TN), is an Indian born actor who has starred in a number of top-grossing Tamil films and is currently one of the reigning heroes of Tamil Film Industry (aka Kollywood). His screen name is Vikram aka Chiyaan. He is also affectionately called as Kenny in close circles. With numerous blockbusters to his credit, Vikram has carefully niched a place for himself on the silver screen. Noted films that gave him the star status include Sethu, Dhil, Kasi, Dhool, Saamy, Gemini, Pithamagan and Anniyan.

After the success of Sethu, Tamilnadu gave him the title or prefix honour of being addressed as "Chiyaan", named after his character in the film. Hence, the name "Chiyaan" Vikram. He won the prestigious National Film Awards of India for his breathtaking performance as an undertaker in Pithamagan, 2003.

Anniyan played for 150 days in Kollywood and 240 days in Tollywood. Though Vikram's age is considered a barrier to his super stardom, he is now ranked as No.4 in rank of top actors in Kollywood.
