Tamil actor Vishal’s films usually do well in Telugu too. His latest film Abhimanyudu, the Tamil version of Irumbu Thirai, is releasing here on June 1.
“When the Tamil film released in Chennai, many people protested as they felt the film was against Digital India and the Aadhar card. Some shows were cancelled too, but thanks to police protection, the film was screened and it turned out to be a big success for me, as an actor and producer,” says Vishal.
“After watching my film, I am sure people will handle their phone well. On social media everyone gives their opinion openly, but at times it can get them into some trouble. Also, the Aadhar card is linked to your bank accounts and we give all our personal information to an unknown person! We are showing some of these problems in my film,” says Vishal, explaining that cinema is a powerful media and it shows facts along with some fiction too.

“Sometimes wrong transactions happen to our bank accounts. We don’t know how it happened, but it does. Many people experience this. We have shown it in my film. I am sure everyone connects to these scenes,” he says.
The actor says the film projects ATM machine frauds, bank loans and how a military officer doesn’t have a passbook. “My film is not against the government. In our film we show how people are facing problems after the Aadhar and Digital India. It’s realistic,” says Vishal.
He added that the Censor Board has cleared his film and he isn’t afraid of anyone. “When my film is cleared by the censor officials, why should I be afraid of anyone. I don’t understand why people want to protest even after I got the certificate,” asks Vishal.
This film’s success also helps Samantha to break that married actresses don’t do films. “This film gives confidence to the directors and producers that they can approach married actresses to act in their films. Samantha has proved it and definitely inspires many other actresses,” says Vishal.
