Vikram Krishna Reddy, credited in films as Ajay, is a former Indian film producer and actor in Tamil cinema. He is the elder brother of noted actor Vishal and is married to actress Sriya Reddy.[1] He produced films under the banner G.K Film Corporation.
Early life and career
[edit]His younger brother Vishal is a popular actor in Tamil film industry.
Vikram prepared to make a debut as an actor in Tamil films as early as January 1996.[2] He made his lead debut with Pooparika Varugirom (1999) co-starring Sivaji Ganesan before starring in Love Marriage (2001), a remake of the Telugu film Swayamvaram. Although critics noted that he was at ease at acting, fighting and dancing, both films were box office failures, failing to propel his career. Ajay turned to producing his brother Vishal's films.[3][4][5][6]
