At Viacom18, Vikram built an enviable track record for the studio - from critically acclaimed box-office hits like Kahaani, Gangs of Wasseypur, Special 26, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Madras Cafe and Queen, to mass entertainers like OMG - Oh My God, Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Tanu Weds Manu, to name a few. Vikram, who has also previously headed the motion pictures business at Balaji Telefilms, set the bar even higher with Abundantia Entertainment. Creating for both theatrical and streaming platforms, Abundantia Entertainment's filmography boasts of critically acclaimed and commercial hit films like Baby, Airlift, Toilet - Ek Prem Katha, Shakuntala Devi, Sherni, Chhorii, Jalsa and Ram Setu. The company has an exciting slate of films in the pipeline, top-lined by Sarfira, directed by National Award winner Sudha Kongara Prasad, featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead, the sequel to the successful, genre-defining horror film, Chhorii and the remake of the critically acclaimed Malayalam film, Angamaly Diaries. Abundantia Entertainment also announced the first film of its partner company, Opening Image, which is in collaboration with celebrated director, Suresh Triveni. The film, titled, 'Subedaar', will see superstar Anil Kapoor return to his original action avatar. Book adaptations of bestsellers like Flawed - the Nirav Modi saga are also being developed as are films with talented directors like Jai Mehta who co-directed the smash hit series, Scam 1992, Lootere, Bhav Dhulia who directed the critically acclaimed series - Khakee: The Bihar Chapter and The Freelancer and with Mayank Sharma who directed three seasons of the globally hit Amazon Prime Video series, Breathe. Led by Vikram, Abundantia Entertainment was a pioneer creator in the streaming world in India with its Amazon Original, 'Breathe' releasing to fabulous response in 2018. This was followed by its much-loved second season in 2020, Breathe: Into The Shadows, which also marked the digital debut of movie stars Abhishek Bachchan and Nithya Menen. The latest and third season of Breathe: Into The Shadows was a huge hit amongst the critics and audiences globally upon its launch in 2022. Abundantia's all-women-led ensemble, 'Hush Hush' brought yesteryear super stars Juhi Chawla and Ayesha Jhulka into the streaming world and released to rave reviews on Prime Video. There's a diverse array of content in development as streaming originals that includes 'The End', marking the streaming debut of superstar Akshay Kumar, a multi-season crime drama, Daldal with Bhumi Pednekar in the lead and a multi-season series with the award-winning director and showrunner Hansal Mehta. Prior to entering the Entertainment industry, Vikram has spent more than a decade building brands and businesses across leading companies such as The UB Group (spirits, airlines, sports), Tata Communications (retail internet) and SC Johnson - Draft FCB (FMCG). Vikram is passionate about Tennis, a sport that he competitively played at the National level, and finds time for even now. An avid reader, business and biographies are his favorite genre.

Reviewers score the dialogue 55/100 and the plot and story 45/100 in their films, across 30 reviewed titles. The element that speaks to their work as a writer.
Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
