Actor

Vishal has made a startling revelation sharing details about his reluctance to play a certain role in his career. In a promo video of the upcoming podcast, Yours Frankly Vishal, the actor opened up about his regret of working on a role which altered his health and well-being.

Vishal Says NO Amount Of Money Will Make Him Say YES To Accept THIS Role

In the short promo, Vishal said "No matter how much money I am offered... I will never fake a squint and perform. It was mental...I did it for Bala sir...if he says jump then I would do that as well...I thought Avan Ivan was my last and final movie because I tried to have squint eyes for it and was in physical pain."

For the unversed, Vishal worked on director Bala's 2011 film Avan Ivan where he had to alter the position of his eyes for the role. This caused him severe health issues, so much so that his vision got blurred. In an interview he said "I’m probably the only person in the world who had to go to an eye hospital because I squinted so hard, for days on end, till my vision became blurred,”
