Actor Vishnu Vishal had a mixed 2018, as his long delayed release Ratsasan, the psycho thriller turned out to be a successful venture, while his year end release Silkkuvarpatti Singam, the comedy entertainer turned out to be a dud and both the movies had him playing a cop.

Vishnu Vishal had recently met with an accident during the shoot of director Prabhu Solomon's Kaadan, which lead to him taking a break from shooting, and the actor who is recovering is expected to join shooting soon. He had recently signed a two film deal with Viacom productions.

Now the latest update is that Vishnu Vishal has been signed to play the lead role in acclaimed director Vasantha Balan's next movie. This yet to be titled project will be produced by Lyca productions and will begin after Vasantha Balan wraps Jail with GV Prakash.
