Actor Vishal to contest R.K. Nagar bypoll

Actor Vishal has announced that he will be contesting the R.K. Nagar bypoll.

Vishal said that he will state his reasons after filing his nominations. “I am contesting as an independent candidate. I will state my reasons for contesting this particular bypoll after filing my nomination.” The actor is expected to file his nomination on Monday.

Vishal has been vocal about corruption in the film industry and has recently taken on politicians openly. While he criticised BJP leader H. Raja during the Mersal controversy, he also warned politicians not to interfere in the case of suicide of producer Ashok Kumar of Company Productions. “If any MLA or MP interferes, we will take them on,” he said.
