Vishnu Vishal is one of the few heroes in Kollywood who gets to star in pathbreaking and different genre films such as 'Mundasupatti', 'Indru Netru Naalai', 'Velaiyunu Vandhutta Vellaikaran' and 'Ratchasan'. He is currently recovering from a major health issue caused by a stunt gone wrong while filming Prabhu Solomon's 'Kaadan'.

Vishnu Vishal married his longtime girlfriend Rajini Natraj in 2011 and has a son Aryan. The couple divorced in 2018 but never explained why such a love-filled marriage crumbled. Vishnu has opened up in a recent interview that the one thing in life he felt was pucca was his marriage and still could not believe that it's over.

Vishal has explained that he was an introvert most of his life and only a few years back decided to socialize and started moving closely with females too so as to get his onscreen chemistry with costars perfectly. However that caused his wife to feel that he changed suddenly and as time went by she decided that this is not the guy she married.

Vishnu has stated that he still loves and respects his wife and she too feels the same way and that he would always be protective of his son and Rajini. After his recovery from injury and the personal setbacks Vishnu has signed multiple projects with directors Vasantha Balan, a multistarrer with Vikranth and a others which will be announced soon.
