TFPC takes strict action against actor Vishal – Official statement

Vishal is a leading actor and producer in Kollywood. He was elected as the General Secretary of the Nadigar Sangam in 2015 and became the President of the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) in 2017. In 2023, Murali Ramasamy of Sri Thenandal Films replaced Vishal as the president of TFPC.

Now, the TFPC has taken action against actor Vishal for misusing the council’s money. A request has been made to the producers and technicians who work with Vishal to consult the association. The TFPC issued a statement regarding this which says:

“Based on allegations against Mr. Vishal, who served as the head of the Tamil Film Producers Council from 2017-2019, the Tamil Nadu government appointed a special officer in 2019. This officer appointed an auditor to review the council’s accounts.

The auditor’s report after analysing the accounts revealed that the funds of the association were misused, resulting in a loss of approximately ?12 crores, including ?7.5 crores from the council’s bank deposits and ?5 crores from the 2017-2019 income and expenditure. Despite multiple notifications to Mr Vishal to return the misused funds, there has been no response from him.

To address this issue, based on the executive committee’s recommendation and a unanimously passed resolution by the general assembly, it is requested that producers and technicians planning new films with Mr Vishal consult with the Tamil Film Producers Council before commencing their work.”
