**Chennai, [Date]:** Actor Vishal was noticeably unwell at the pre-release event of his long-delayed film, *Madha Gaja Raja*, held yesterday at Leela Palace, Chennai. The event, marking the film’s release after a 12-year delay, saw Vishal appearing visibly shaken and unable to hold a microphone steadily.
Reports indicate Vishal was suffering from a viral fever. Host D.D. confirmed this on stage, supporting Vishal who appeared weak and was seated by the film crew. Following the event, Apollo Hospital released a statement confirming Vishal’s viral fever diagnosis and advising him to rest completely.
*Madha Gaja Raja*, completed in 2012 and initially slated for a 2013 Pongal release, finally hits theaters after numerous delays.

Vishal’s unexpected illness, however, overshadowed the event, prompting concern among fans and sparking online discussions about his health.
