Vishal has made a mark with film like Pandem Kodi (Sandakozhi in Tamil), Bharani, Bhayya etc. His latest film Salute is an action packed romantic entertainer and the film is doing well at the box office. Vishal, also known as producer GK Reddy’s son when he first started out, has quietly climbed up the rungs to become a very bankable action hero, capable of carrying a film on his own rugged shoulder, witness Salute (known as Satyam in Tamil). He actually entered the industry as assistant director to action star Arjun, then accidentally fell into his debut role in Chellame.
Getting a taste of direction as he directed some choice action scenes for Salute, he wants to turn director soon. He was recently in Malaysia for the premiere of Salute, which was produced simultaneously as Satyam and has been quoted as saying, “I have plans to direct a movie next year and there’s a possibility that some of the filming will be done in Malaysia," he said.
He will make an action film along the lines of Spiderman and the Hindi film Krissh. Vishal has readied the script and the film is set to start filming sometime next year. Vishal’s been known to say that his favourite directors are Ram Gopal Varma and VV Vinayak.
His birthday falls on August 29 and Team Galatta wishes him well on all his future endeavours.
