Vishnu was also part of Tamil Cinema's first and only science fiction comedy, Indru Netru Naalai, which made an entertainer out of time-travel concepts. Vishnu was seen as a budding entrepreneur.
Vishnu played a rebel warrior, who struggles to uphold the rights of the Tamil Dalith people in Suseenthiran's Maaveeran Kittu, a period drama set in the 1980s.
Vishnu, in his first cop role, played an aspiring filmmaker, who becomes a sub-inspector due to circumstances, and gets to investigate a missing school girls case in Ramkumar's crime drama Ratchasan.
