Biography

Vikram Thakor is a native of Fatehpura village near Gandhinagar in Gujarat. Thakor started singing and playing flute on stage aged ten with his father Melaji Thakor, a folk and kirtan singer. Initially reluctant to enter the film industry, he debuted in Ek Var Piyu Ne Malva Aavje (2006) which was a commercial hit.[3][4][5] He starred in several Gujarati films chiefly targeted to rural audience. All eight of his initial films were successful at the box office.[6][7]

Thakor's 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 Rann Ma (2014).[8] His six films earned ₹3 crore (US$350,000) and in 2015 he was considered a superstar of Gujarati cinema in various media.[7][9] He lives in Gandhinagar.[6]

Controversy

Thakor was accused of duping Gujarati film director, Paresh Patel, of ₹35 lakh (US$41,000) in 2011.[10][11] Following a police investigation, no charges were brought and the matter was dismissed.
