Career

Vikram Thakor hails from Fatehpura near Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He started singing and playing flute on stage at age of ten with his father Melaji Thakor who was folk singer and kirtan singer. He later started performing on stage at age of 20. Initially reluctant to enter the film industry, he debuted in Ek Var Piyu Ne Malva Aavje (2006) which was a commercially hit.[1][2] He starred in several Gujarati films chiefly targeted to rural audience. His all eight films have been hits at the local box office.[3][4]

His other successful films include Radha Tara Vina Gamtu Nathi (2007), Vaagi kalje Katari Tara Premni (2010), Premi Zukya Nathi ne Zukshe Nahi (2011) and Rasiya Tari Radha Rokani Rannma (2014).[5] His six films earned Rs 3 crore and considered the current superstar of Gujarati cinema in various media.[4][6]
