Actor-producer
Vishnu Vishal, currently promoting his upcoming film Gatta Kusthi 2, has responded to online criticism aimed at him. The actor addressed a viral post on X that took a dig at his promotional interviews, alleging he frequently gets emotional, talks about not getting recognition, and later faces criticism after his films release. Vishnu Vishal dismissed these claims, questioning how many of his recent films had actually been 'bashed' and went on to mention the context behind titles like Lal Salaam and Aaryan. He also spoke about taking feedback from audience and said even Rajinikanth has opened up about a similar issue.
Vishnu Vishal Responds to Negative Comments He Got During Gatta Kusthi 2 Promotions
In a recent interview with RedNool,
Vishnu Vishal responded to a viral X post which said, "Of late, Vishnu Vishal comes for movie promotions, cries in every interview, claims he is unrecognised and praises his movies. Then, the movie releases and gets bashed by everyone." Hitting back at the comment, the actor asked, "How many of my recent movies have been bashed?"
"Recently only two films of mine have been released. One is Lal Salaam and the other is Aaryan. As if my last ten movies have been bashed. The previous two were FIR and Gatta Kusthi 1. With Lal Salaam, things were not in my hand. I tried to put forth my story. I didn't sign for what came on screen. I don't want to get into those details. It was bashed," he shared, while explaining the context behind Aaryan and the responses it received.

He questioned why it should be linked to his own filmography and said that it was led by a younger team. He concluded by questioning whether such detailed justification is necessary for every social media comment.
He said even big actors are not spared rom this "We are in that era where even Rajini sir has to say I have nothing against Vijay sir when he stays silent on social media for four days. It's so painful to see this." Gatta Kusthi 2 will feature the return of Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi as Veera and Keerthi. Kaali Venkat, Karunaas, and Munishkanth will reprise their roles, along with Lizzie Antony, Gajaraj, and Sreeja Ravi. Veteran actress Ramya Krishnan is also part of the cast.
