Vishnu Vishal, last seen in an extended cameo in his brother Rudra's debut, Oho Enthan Baby, is gearing up for the release of his next film, Aaryan. In a recent interview with the Hindustan Times, the actor revealed that he had difficulty in finding producers for some of his hit films like Ratsasan, Gatta Kusthi and FIR.

Vishnu Vishal revealed that even after convincing producers to back his film, making them stay on board was a challenge. "I had to do a lot of convincing to get producers to not just fund but stick with these projects," he said, adding that he was unsure if every single film goes through a similar process. "When I see other films being made, I wonder if they had to go through the same process…it’s just how the industry works. Healthy competition is good, and I believe we’ll go far by being supportive of each other."

As a solution and a first step, Vishnu himself has started producing films. He said, "I am working to be better at my craft because I know where I lack. I have also begun producing films I believe in. Now the industry has started believing in me, but it has only happened recently, and it took a lot of time. I just think I should’ve been supported more in my initial days.”

Aaryan, directed by Praveen K, also stars Shraddha Srinath, Maanasa Choudhary, and Selvaraghavan in prominent roles. The film's technical crew comprises Harish Kannan as cinematographer, Ghibran as composer and editor San Lokesh. Apart from Tamil, the film is set to release in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Produced by Vishnu Vishal's Vishnu Vishal Studioz, Aaryan is penned by the actor's FIR collaborator Manu Anand.

Vishnu Vishal, up next, has Irandu Vaanam and Mohandas. He is currently working on the sequel to Gatta Kusthi, Gatta Kusthi 2.
