Vishal has been in the news for the past few days for various reasons - his political entry and the confusion surrounding it, Ponvannan's resignation and the Producer Council meeting. Now, we have a news on his next movie Irumbu Thirai directed by Mithran which also stars Arjun and Samantha. The technical team includes Yuvan Shankar Raja, Ruben and George Williams and the first look and few promotional videos have been well received by audience.

Cyber terrorism is the core plot of the movie and the director shares a few info on how Vishal plays a major role in the movie, not just as a hero but also as a producer. The story was narrated to him only for production but he was so impressed that he chose to act the villain role but was later convinced by the director to play the hero. But to add more value to the character, Mithran added an Army backdrop to the character which was originally written otherwise.
