Vishal is once again embroiled in controversy as allegations have been levelled against him by the Tamil Film Producers Council. The organisation, of which he was earlier the president, has alleged that the actor has misused their funds.
According to Indiaglitz, an official statement has been issued in this regard, in which the organization has also asked the producers and technicians who worked with Vishal to take counselling. The statement also indicated that about Rs 12 crore from their funds were misused, resulting in losses.
Tamil Film Producers Council accused Vishal of misappropriation of funds
After the statement of the council’s decision, actor Vishal himself has clarified the allegations against him. On his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the actor said, “Don’t you know that this is a collective decision which includes your team person “Mr. Kathiresan” and the funds were used for the welfare work of old/struggling members of the Producer Council.”
Furthermore, the actor asked to think progressively and also said, “Do your work properly and there is a lot more for the industry to work towards. Vishal will always keep making movies. Try and stop me, all you so-called producers who don’t make movies and never will.”
