Nadigar Sangam Secretary Vishal seems to have kickstarted yet another controversy. In an interview to a Tamil magazine, when asked about a producer's loss and struggle in Kollywood, the actor pointed out at the TNFPC (Tamil Film Producers Council) for not taking stringent action against piracy because of which many small-time producers are at the loss. He also blamed the council for not incorporating new marketing strategies to bring in addition revenues. He also added that if would take part in the council election in 2017, if the situation arise.

This seems to have not gone well with the Producers council and many have condemned the actor for his thoughts.
