Happy Ending For Vishal?

With Vishal stating that he may contest the upcoming Producers Council elections, chances are that he might go on to rule two of the most powerful organizations of Tamil cinema; Actors' Association (Nadigar Sangam) & TFPC.

When asked why only producers end up losing their money while actors and other technicians walk away with their wallets full, in case the movie in question doesn't do well at the box office, Vishal has said it is Producers Council which has to be blamed.

According to the actor-producer, the Council has failed to discuss issues such as piracy, DTH rights to enhance producers' revenue, releasing official DVDs after two weeks from the film's release among others.

"If someone says a hero owes Rs 50 lakh to me and please mediate, immediately they will assemble and enjoying Bonda and Bajji, they would discuss," he has said, adding that the Council needs a new team for Tamil cinema to prosper.
