Vishal to make his directorial debut soon

Vishal will soon make his directorial debut. He will be helming the sequel of his 2017 hit movie Thupparivalan. Initially, the film was directed by Mysskin but, reportedly, due to jibe with Vishal, the director walked out of the film. Thus, Vishal was forced to take the baton on. 

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.
