Vikram’s father is a doctor, so they had to move from city to city; from Delhi to Tamil Nadu to Hyderabad. Vikram completed his matriculation from Nizam College, Hyderabad. All this while what remained constant was his interest in drawing cartoons and caricatures.

He was one of those creative students who well utilized the back pages of their notebooks, and his standard seven notebooks were filled with caricatures of teachers and fellow students. Luckily, he never got caught. And years later he only picked a career that would allow him to bring those caricatures to life- animation. After finishing his graduation, he enrolled in an institute named Zica and was in the very first batch. While studying Vikram worked with Mudra Communications on a TV commercial called Y-Snore as a 2D animator. The commercial bagged a Gold Award in the Best Commercial in the category of consumer non-durables.

From 2011-2013, Vikram was part of the core team of Shaktimaan Animated series. It brought back India’s first and favorite superhero with an international flavor, and episodes ran high on an adrenaline rush. Speaking to animationxpress.com, Vikram explained that it was a huge responsibility and an arduous venture that was the result of a solid team.

In 2012, Vikram directed his first commercial success, the grand epic animation movie Krishna Aur Kans Click to look into! >> Read More... - powered by Adobe, which was India’s first stereoscopic 3D animated feature film.It was the first animation movie to be widely released all over India and simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and English. It was even declared tax-free in Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal. Vikram stated his intention behind the subject matter to Boxofficeindia.com, saying that Krishna is India’s greatest icon and connects people all over the world. However, the main idea was given to Vikram by Ashish SK, the CEO of Reliance Animation, and the scriptwriting done by Kamlesh Pandey.

It took four years of extensive research for Vikram and his team, and twenty drafts before the script were finalized. No wonder the movie became a major family entertainer and won Vikram the Best Animated Feature Film Director at Bhopal International film Festival for Krishna and Kans and Gold Medal at New York Film Festival. It also made it to the list submitted for 85th Academy Awards in the Animated Feature Film category, along with Delhi Safari.

The year 2015, saw the birth of India’s first female superhero animated series Mary Kom Jr. revolving around the Olympic winner, boxer, Mary Kom. Vikram’s Pune-based company, ScreenYug Creations Pvt Ltd, and Aditya Horizons got the licensing agreement for the TV series. All the royalties from the global sales were directed to Mary.

Vikram said to the Deccan Chronicle in 2015 that while growing up, he remembered that most of the superheroes were mainly men. There weren’t many women. Superheroes were liked mostly by boys. So he got the idea of creating Mary Kom then. With his impeccable blend of creativity, conceptualization, and innovation, Vikram Veturi has changed the face and future of 2D animation in India.
