Vishal announces his lineup: Collab with Gautham Vasudev Menon, Thupparivaalan 2, and a film with Ajay Gnanamuthu

Recently, it’s been reported that Vishal attended a Thanksgiving gathering, basking in the afterglow of his movie Madha Gaja Raja’s success. At this event, the actor shared some insights about his future film projects. Notably, one of these upcoming ventures involves a thrilling partnership with the director of Kaakha Kaakha.

At the recent gathering, Vishal disclosed that he would team up with filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon for the first time on a new venture. In addition to this upcoming collaboration, it was also revealed that he will reprise his role in Thupparivaalan 2 and has an upcoming project with director Ajay Gnanamuthu who is known for his work on Cobra.

It’s worth noting that before their latest project, Vishal and Gautham Menon had already collaborated on the 2024 film “Rathnam,” directed by Hari. In this action-drama, Vishal took on the main role, while Gautham Menon was cast in a secondary part.

Beyond that, Vishal is additionally set to appear in Thupparivaalan 2, a project he’s also directing along with Ajay Gnanamuthu. This film is a continuation of his 2017 movie Thupparivaalan, initially directed by Mysskin. However, due to creative differences between Vishal and Mysskin, the latter was replaced. The production of this film encountered delays, resuming in 2024, but it’s anticipated that more delays may occur.

Currently, Vishal has been featured in a recent film titled Madha Gaja Raja. This film, helmed by director Sundar C, is a blend of action and comedy that experienced a delay in release for 12 years. Despite the long wait, it eventually hit the big screens on January 12, 2025, and has been thriving in theaters ever since.

The film narrates the tale of old companions who gather for a wedding, initially giving off an air of harmony. However, things soon take a turn as they face a significant dispute, with undercurrents of tension surfacing from their individual backgrounds. Besides Vishal, notable actors such as Santhanam, Anjali, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar also grace the screen in pivotal parts.

Currently, director Gautham Vasudev Menon is preparing for the premiere of his new movie titled “Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse,” featuring Mammootty in the lead role. This intriguing mystery-thriller will make its way to theaters on January 23, 2025.
