The Kollywood action hero Vishal, who began with a bang, with a hat-trick of hits, Chellame, Sandakozhi, Thimiru, later went on to score a flurry of flops, before making a mark with Pandiyanadu, and later occasionally scoring decent outings. Recently he has been having a good form, with back to back hits Thupparivalan and Irumbuthirai. But again he failed with 'Sandakozhi 2' and now he works on 'Action'.
One striking feature of his career was that his initial 3 flicks were blockbusters in Telugu as well, even with just their dubbed versions, namely Pandem Kodi, Bharani, and Pogaru. However, when he attempted straight Telugu movie with Salute, it flunked, and post that none of his movies had clicked at Tollywood box office.
However, the cybercrime thriller Abhimanyudu, Vishal claimed the Andhra market again, as the movie was a huge hit. But all credits to Samantha who has the Midas touch and who helped Vishal in regaining the market. But now the same Samantha has walked out of the sequel to Abhimanyudu and she was replaced by Shraddha Srinath.
