Earlier, during the shooting of Poojai, Vishal suffered an injury during a stunt sequence and 22 stiches were administered on his middle finger. Due to the injury, the shooting of Poojai was stopped for a few days as the doctors had advised Vishal to take rest. But now, Vishal is doing well and has rejoined the crew to start shooting again. Poojai is an action-masala flick starring Vishal and Shruti in the lead roles and is directed by Hari and produced by Vishal. This is the third production venture by Vishal.
