Actor Vishnu Vishal, who is preparing for the release of his upcoming thriller Aaryan, stated that the success of his contemporaries makes him rethink his strategy rather than feel envious.

In an interview on the YouTube channel Galatta, the actor stated that another actor's success causes him to reflect deeply. "I wonder how that person cracked the formula. What did the person think differently and execute? I also think about what I should change in my strategy. It never affects me or makes me envious of the person."

Elaborating further on the point, Vishnu Vishal said that he dropped the idea of external competition a long time ago. "I run my own race. My career is in my own hands. I focus solely on how my next film should develop, including both the canvas and characterisation. I am not in competition with anyone."

The investigation thriller, directed by Praveen K, also stars Maanasa Choudhary and Selvaraghavan in crucial roles.

Vishnu Vishal, last seen in an extended cameo in Oho Enthan Baby, marking the acting debut of the actor's brother Rudra, up next has Irandu Vaanam and Mohandas. He is currently working on the sequel to Gatta Kusthi, Gatta Kusthi 2.

Produced by Vishnu Vishal's Vishnu Vishal Studioz, Aaryan is penned by the actor's FIR collaborator Manu Anand. The film's technical crew has changed, with Harish Kannan now serving as the cinematographer, replacing Vishnu Subash. The team also includes music composer Sam CS and editor San Lokesh.

The film is releasing alongside the Rio Raj-starrer Aan Paavam Pollathathu.
