After wrapping up his long-delayed project Madha Gaja Raja, actor Vishal is back in action with Magudam, directed by Ravi Arasu. However, the film has now landed in controversy after unexpected behind-the-scenes clips surfaced online.
Rumours had earlier claimed that Ravi Arasu left Magudam midway due to creative differences with Vishal, who allegedly took over the direction. Many dismissed these as baseless speculations when the team released an Ayudha Puja poster crediting Ravi Arasu as director.
But now, leaked videos from the film’s shooting have taken social media by storm. The clips show Vishal directing scenes on set, reigniting discussions that he might have replaced Ravi Arasu behind the camera.
The viral videos have divided public opinion. Some fans are excited to see Vishal experiment with direction, calling it an interesting step in his career. Others have criticised him, claiming he has repeated the same mistake he made during Thupparivalan 2, where director Mysskin walked out after creative clashes.
Many believe the problem lies with Vishal himself, accusing him of being difficult to work with. Trollers say this pattern keeps repeating across his films, hinting that his behaviour drives directors away.
Despite the backlash, the leaked videos have generated massive buzz for Magudam. The team hasn’t released an official statement yet, but the growing attention ensures that the film stays in headlines even before its release.
