Vishal to make his directorial debut soon

Vishal will be making his directorial debut with the sequel of his 2017 hit movie Thupparivalan. Initially, the Vishal starrer was helmed by Mysskin, who incidentally also directed the first part. However, Mysskin and Vishal had a rift owing to the exceeding budget of Thupparivalan 2, which led to the former walking out of the film.

After Mysskin's exit, Vishal took over control of the project. The forthcoming movie will see Vishal reprising his role as the detective Kanniyan Poongundran. Thupparivalan 2 also features actors like Vishal, Prasanna, Lovely Singh, Nassar, Gautami and Rahman in the prominent roles. The forthcoming movie is expected to hit the marquee soon.
