Actor Vishal has made it official. As a Diwali special, he released the second-look poster of his upcoming film Magudam and confirmed that he is directing the movie himself. This announcement ended weeks of speculation surrounding the project.
A few days ago, leaked clips from the Magudam shooting spot had gone viral on social media, claiming that Vishal had taken over direction from filmmaker Ravi Arasu after creative differences. The rumours quickly spread, sparking confusion among fans and industry insiders.
Director Ravi Arasu later denied these claims in an interview. He clarified that there were no issues between him and Vishal and that he was still handling the directorial duties at that time.
Now, Vishal has addressed the speculation directly by announcing that he is officially directing Magudam. He revealed that he didn’t plan for this situation, but circumstances forced him to step in and rework the creative process.
Vishal explained that he took this decision not out of pressure but out of a sense of responsibility to the project. His confirmation has gone viral, drawing mixed reactions from both fans and film followers.
While many people are praising Vishal for taking this bold step and wishing him success in his directorial debut, others have questioned his timing. They argue that his acting career has been struggling lately, with several of his recent releases underperforming at the box office.
Some even feel that Vishal should have focused on improving his acting career instead of directing at this stage. They believe that if Magudam fails, the blame will fall entirely on him.
Despite divided opinions, Vishal’s decision to direct Magudam has become one of the most discussed topics online. The announcement continues to trend as fans await more updates about the film.
