Did you know Dhanush’s Raayan was supposed to have Vishnu Vishal in key role but he got replaced due to Lal Salaam?

As a lifestyle expert with a deep interest in the Tamil film industry, I have closely followed the making and release of Dhanush’s latest venture Raayan. It’s fascinating to learn that another talented actor, Vishnu Vishal, was initially considered for a key role in the movie, specifically the part that eventually went to Sundeep Kishan as Muthu.


I’ve had the pleasure of watching Dhanush’s latest film, Raayan, which is currently making waves in theaters. What a remarkable production it is! But here’s an interesting tidbit that not many people might know: originally, Vishnu Vishal was set to play a pivotal role in this movie. Isn’t it fascinating how life takes unexpected turns? I’ve always admired the versatility and resilience of artists, and this situation is yet another testament to that fact. It makes me wonder what the final product would have looked like with Vishnu in the cast instead of Dhanush. Nonetheless, I can’t deny the brilliance of Raayan as it stands today, with Dhanush’s exceptional performance and direction at the helm.

Yes, as mentioned in a recent post by film enthusiast Amutha Bharathi, it was originally intended for Ratsasan actor to secure the part of Muthu in Raayan; however, this role ultimately ended up being portrayed by Sundeep Kishan.

Vishnu Vishal was supposed to play a key role in Dhanush’s Raayan

Vishnu Vishal was reportedly given the opportunity to have a significant part in Dhanush’s film “Raayan.” However, due to his existing obligations with other projects, most notably Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s “Lal Salaam,” he regretfully declined this offer.

Despite some feeling that Dhanush’s film received positive reviews, it appears Sundeep Kishan garnered particular acclaim for his role as Muthu. Though it seemed like a missed chance for Ratsasan’s actor, ultimately, it landed in capable hands.

In simpler terms, the film “Raayan,” released on July 26, tells the tale of a North Chennai fast-food restaurant proprietor seeking revenge against the gangs that devastated his family.

Alongside Dhanush as the main character, the film featured notable performances from actors including S. J. Suryah, Prakash Raj, Selvaraghavan, Sundeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram, Dushara Vijayan, Aparna Balamurali, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, among others. In spite of some negative feedback regarding its plot and screenplay, the film has been widely appreciated and continues to draw crowds at cinemas.

Vishnu Vishal’s Workfront

Vishnu Vishal recently starred as the main character in the film “Lal Salaam,” sharing the screen with actor Vikranth. The movie, helmed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, is a thrilling blend of sports and action genres. Notably, Superstar Rajinikanth made a significant appearance in the production.

In addition to the main actors, Livingston, Senthil, Jeevitha, K.S. Ravikumar, Thambi Ramaiah, Nirosha, Ananthika Sanilkumar, Vivek Prasanna, Dhanya Balakrishna, and others play significant roles in the movie.

Vishal will soon appear in the film “Mohandas,” helmed by Murali Karthick, although its release has been postponed at the moment. Additionally, he is currently filming for “Aaryan” and a romantic fantasy project guided by Ram Kumar.
