Vishal’s stakes in Mollywood seem to soar! His previous Tamil film, Thupparaivaalan, was snapped for a big price and did good business. His debut Malayalam flick, Villain, with Mohanlal, where he played a role with negative shades, was well received too.
Now, Shibu Thameens, a popular producer/ distributor in Kerala, who produced Vijay’s Puli and Vikram’s Iru Mugan in Tamil, has bought Vishal-Samantha Akkineni-starrer Irumbu Thirai for a big price, for its theatrical release in the God’s Own Country.
The movie features Arjun in a crucial role and is directed by Mithran. Close sources say that recently a high-octane action sequence atop a moving train was shot with Vishal taking part without a body double at Tenkasi. Yuvan Shankar Raja has teamed up with Vishal after a gap for the flick. It is also being dubbed in Telugu as Abhimanyudu.
