“Naanu Nandini”, a kannada version of “I’m a Barbie girl” by pop group Aqua (April 1997) went viral with millions of views and counting on social media.
In an exclusive interview with South First, Vikas to Vickypedia, talks about his journey and his recent video song “Naanu Nandini” which went viral in Karnataka and beyond.
“I quit my IT job a decade ago since I did not see myself working in the IT sector in the coming days. Also, I took up theatre to give myself enough time to learn and excel” he says.
About his unique name “Vickypedia”, by which his social media accounts are named, the content creator shares that one of his college friends used to refer to him by the name.
“Not all creators earn a good source of income, especially in India. But through detailed insights on social media platforms, it helps in collaborating with brands for promotion.”
“Anyone who has come to Bengaluru to work in an IT firm and stayed in PG would have experienced everything which we have showcased in the video,” he quips about the song.
Of his many videos, Vikas is often seen portraying “female characters” along with his usual avatars. His popular female characters are Ambika, Malathi, and now Nandini.
