Vishal has begun dubbing for his upcoming film Magudam, days after stepping in as the director of the project. The actor's manager confirmed the same on his X handle with a video montage of Vishal participating in a customary pooja ceremony before taking over the mic. With post production in full swing, it has been revealed that shooting for the film's climax is also simultaneously underway.
Recently, Vishal released the second look of Magudam, confirming that he had taken over the directorial duties from Ravi Arasu. While reasons for the same were not revealed, it has been speculated that the duo had creative differences regarding the project, which led to the director exiting the film. Magudam marks Vishal's directorial debut.
In his note, he stated that he "never expected this scenario". "But circumstances had led me to take a crucial decision to rework the creative process and direct this film, a decision made not out of compulsion, but out of responsibility. As an actor, I’ve always believed that cinema is a commitment to the audience who trusts us and to the producers who invest their faith and hard earned money in every project," he wrote, adding it "was the only way of ensuring that this film stands tall, that the producer’s efforts are safeguarded, and that the audience receive the best experience they truly deserve in the world of commercial cinema." Ravi Arasu is now credited with the story for the film.
The action film also stars Dushara Vijayan as the female lead, with Anjali and Yogi Babu in prominent roles. Plot details are under wraps. However, the first look poster of the film featured Vishal in three distinct looks: as a corporate office employee, a young don, and a slightly older gang leader.
This film marks the 99th production feature of the popular Super Good Films banner.
Magudam's music will be composed by GV Prakash, who is joining hands with the actor for the second time after Mark Antony. Cinematography is by Richard M Nathan, and editing is handled by Srikanth NB. G Durairaj is the production designer.
