Tamil actor Vishal had hoped to script his own success story in Andhra Pradesh, after his 'Pandem Kodi' made him popular in the summer 2005. In the euphoria, he acted in two bi-linguals, 'Pistha' and 'Salute', hoping to build upon his niche image. But after the two films saw a complete route out at the box office, there was no news from him as yet.It seems that, finally, Vishal has learnt that he cannot be adventurous all the time. This is the reason why his next Tamil film 'Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai', is not going to see a Telugu version. Forget bi-lingual, the film will not even be dubbed.
Does that mean the Vishal chapter is over, like that of many Tamil actors in the past? Highly likely, because, if the poor response generated by 'Pistha' and 'Salute' are anything to go by, it is difficult for him to limp back in some time.The actor, and his producer-father GK Reddy, would have done well to realise that 'Pandem Kodi' was a commercial success because it had the Kadapa nativity in it, and the audience could connect with the factionist backdrop of the film. In a nutshell, it was a mandate to the film and not to the actor.
