In 1997, debutant director Bala offered him the role of the rogue Sethu (Chiyaan), in the film Sethu. To prepare for the character, Vikram shaved his head, lost twenty-one kilograms and grew his nails long for the role. After beginning production in April 1997, the film went through development hell after industry strikes and lack of funds hampered progress. During this phase, he did not accept other acting offers in order to maintain the continuity of his looks. The film then struggled to find a distributor, who shunned it due to the tragic climax and the film remained unreleased. Vikram described the period of production as “the worst phase of his career” as he was financially strapped and “his fire was in danger of dying down”. He turned down an opportunity from a friend to take up a job in technology and attempted to stay in the industry by directing a serial titled Mounam Pesiyadhey, with Ameer as his assistant director. Sethu finally released in December 1999 and initially began running at a single noon show at a suburban theater, but gradually gained an audience through word-of-mouth publicity. Eventually, it ran for over one hundred days at several cinema halls across Chennai. Vikram was constantly being mobbed by people on the streets as a result of the film’s success. Critics praised Vikram’s performance with a reviewer referring to Vikram as “a revelation” and that “he is very natural and his acting in last few scenes are just too good and could even be compared with the best we have seen”. Similarly, a critic from the Malaysian daily New Straits Times, described the film as an “unforgettable experience” and described Vikram’s performance as “praise-worthy”. The performance drew accolades with Vikram winning the Filmfare Special Award – South and the Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize for his portrayal of the title character, while reports emerged that he missed out on the National Film Award for Best Actor by a single vote to Mohanlal. Post-Sethu, Vikram has said that the film would have been close to him regardless of its commercial success and that it put him on the “right path”, with Vikram choosing to adapt the prefix of Chiyaan to his screen name.
