Mon Jan 06 19:20:41 IST 2025: ## Vishal’s ‘Madha Gaja Raja’ Finally Releases After 12-Year Delay, Actor’s Health Raises Concerns

**Chennai, India** – Tamil actor Vishal’s long-awaited film, “Madha Gaja Raja,” is finally set to release on January 12th, after a 12-year delay. Initially slated for release in 2013, the film’s theatrical run was hampered by various production issues.

Recent promotional appearances by Vishal have, however, sparked concern among fans. Videos circulating on social media show the actor appearing noticeably weak and fatigued. He is seen struggling to hold a microphone with one hand, his hand visibly trembling, requiring his other hand for support. This has led to widespread speculation about his health.

While some reports suggest Vishal was suffering from a severe fever during the promotional events, the extent of his health issues remains unclear. Despite his apparent illness, Vishal attended the pre-release event, displaying considerable commitment to his film. His dedication has been praised by many, even as fans express their concern and well-wishes for his speedy recovery.

“Madha Gaja Raja,” a Tamil comedy directed by C. Sundar and produced by Gemini Film Circuit, stars Vishal, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Santhanam. The film’s music is composed by Vijay Antony.

This release comes at a busy time for Vishal, who is also gearing up for the release of “Thupparivaalan 2,” which he is also directing. The actor, also the General Secretary of the Nadigar Sangam (South Indian Artistes’ Association), recently advocated for the formation of a committee to address the issue of exploitation of women in the Tamil film industry, mirroring similar concerns raised in the Malayalam film industry’s Hema Committee report.
