Tamil actor Vishal arrested in Chennai after he tried to open a locked Tamil Film Producers Council office

Tamil actor and filmmaker Vishal was detained by police in Chennai. According to media reports, the actor was trying to break into the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council (TFPC) office. Vishal along with his supporters tried to get into the office but was blocked off by the police present there. He had a heated argument with the police after which he was detained and was taken into police custody. This all started after a rival within TFPC office demanded Vishal’s resignation.

The fight between the two started when Vishal put his point forward that he wanted to organize a fundraiser to provide relief for those affected by cyclone Gaja. According to a report in The Republic, this decision to stop this event was taken without Vishal’s consent. After the arrest, Vishal even took to Twitter and expressed his anger over matter. In a series of tweets, he also mentioned how the team will do everything to conduct the event along with musical maestro Ilayaraja.
