Set in Karnataka, Dear Vikram follows the lives of Vikram (played by Sathish Ninasam) and Nithya (played by Shraddha Srinath). While Vikram is a journalism student who stands up for what is right, Nithya is an idealist who firmly believes in the importance of education.

This Kannada film comprises of a multi-narrative plot that connects these individuals as they test their relationships and priorities along the way!
KS Nandeesh, said, “During the shoot in Kukke Subramanya, we had to cross a river to reach the location. We waded through knee deep water and spent our entire day there as none of us felt like coming back. But after the shoot, we panicked as water had risen to chest level, but we somehow managed to cross along with all the equipment. Was scary then, but now it has become a fond memory.”
Actor Sathish Ninasam said, “This is the first time Shraddha and I have come together in a movie. The biggest challenge we faced while making this movie was to match artist dates; Vasista Simha, Shradha, Achyuth Kumar, Sonu Gowda, all are busy artists. Moreover, we shot across Kukke Subramanya, Kurnool Andhra Pradesh, Hassan, Bangalore, Bhatkal, Malaysia and many more locations. We all have put in a lot of effort into this movie.”
Shraddha Srinath added, “Since it has been a long time since I’ve done a Kannada film, I am extremely excited to see the response for its release on Voot Select. This is a very intense film and I expect people to discuss it. When I look back after 10 years, I would be proud to have acted and worked in a movie like Dear Vikram.”
A one-of-its-kind multi-narrative plot, complemented by praise-worthy performances, makes ‘Dear Vikram’ a must-watch on Voot Select!
