A circulating video of actor Vishal on social media has sparked speculation among fans, who believe it has been created to promote his upcoming film. Vishal, whose personal life often piques fan curiosity, has not yet commented on the video, despite being known for swift clarifications.

The video

Industry tracker Ramesh Bala posted a video on his X account, questioning, “Is Actor @VishalKOfficial strolling with someone in NYC.” In the footage, Vishal, donned in a maroon hoodie and jeans, accompanies a similarly dressed companion. They engage in conversation while pointing at Christmas lights. As the video progresses, the person recording asks his friend, “Is that Vishal?” receiving an affirmative response. Upon hearing his name, Vishal appears startled, promptly pulls up his hoodie, and hastily retreats with the woman.

Fans react

Amid speculation about Vishal’s relationship status following his disengagement from Hyderabadi actor Anisha Alla Reddy, opinions surfaced on the video, with some pondering if it was a promotional tactic. One fan questioned, “Great promotional strategy. Which movie?” Another asserted, “It’s clear that it’s scripted and part of promotions.” However, not all reactions were positive, as a fan criticized the video as an invasion of privacy, urging, “Have some shame to invade his privacy; he was clearly running away from it.” Another fan claimed to have witnessed the actor having dinner with the woman, stating, “We have already seen them eating together.”

Upcoming work

Following his last appearance in the September-released “Mark Anthony,” Vishal is actively preparing for his upcoming projects. One notable venture is the film “Rathnam,” helmed by director Hari. Additionally, Vishal is poised to assume the directorial responsibilities from Mysskin for the sequel to “Thupparivaalan.” This transition in direction adds an intriguing element to the sequel, showcasing Vishal’s multifaceted involvement in the film industry, both as an actor and now as a director. As fans anticipate these ventures, Vishal’s dynamic role in shaping the narrative of these films adds an extra layer of curiosity to the cinematic landscape.
