Vishal has always been active in the fight against piracy, vowing to eradicate it. He has been part of several such attempts earlier as well. Tamil Nadu Producer Council President and Nadigar Sangam Secretary Vishal has reacted to an illegal streaming of “PETTA” in Government running bus.

The Rajinikanth-starrer “PETTA” is running with packed houses even in its second week, which is a commendable achievement these days.

Let us hope, this time Government will take a strict action and produce a law to stop piracy which has been ruining the lives of thousands of people.
