Actor Vishal gets arrested

Vishal on Thursday was detained by police in Chennai for trying to break into the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council (TFPC) office which was locked by one faction of the members. Vishal who is the president of TFPC slammed police for being spectators the other day.

He tweeted, “Police who were mute yesterday wen unauthorised ppl locked the doors & gates of TFPC have arrested me & my colleague today for no fault of ours,absolutely unbelievable We will fight back,wil do everything to conduct Ilayaraja sir event & raise funds to help Producers in distress.”

A section of producers are demanding sacking of Vishal as president. They allege that he is favouring some.

However, Vishal said people targeted him as he is doing good things to the Tamil producers council. “Targeting me for a simple reason that I want to do good for producers who have lost everything, well I wil continue to do this no matter what. My conscience is Clear,God & Truth is on my side & I will continue to march ahead NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM CONDUCTING ILLAYARAJA SIR EVENT,” he tweeted.
