A productive Sunday morning for Vikram would be to promote his latest film, spend time with his fans or play his role as brand ambassador for Coca-Cola. He managed all three at the Cool Coke Dhool Diwali screening of Majaa at Albert theatre.

About 200 people turned up for the show bright and early, a good number of them with children in tow. And Vikram cuddled, carried and kissed at least ten per cent of these. Although `Chiyaan' was serenaded with a variety of his hits from "Anniyan," "Majaa" and (most popular) "Dhool," the tiny tots seemed to favour `Mary Had a Little Lamb'. Vikram sportingly provided the sound effects and back-up vocals for the singers. The highlight of the interaction was supposed to be a game of Housie, the winners of which would get prizes and a photo with the actor. But due to much confusion about the rules, the game extended for over an hour.

However the audience seemed to be having a good time, with many false alarms about getting a `Jaldi Five' or a full row. And every time a winner was identified, Vikram would ask for an `O' and the fans would delightedly oblige.
