His statement read, "I have never expected political gains while indulging in welfare activities. If nature demands, then I will not hesitate to speak for the people in future."
Statement
Vishal expressed his wish to focus on the Devi Foundation
Vishal emphasized his dedication to helping others through his fan club and the Devi Foundation, which operates in his mother's name.

Trivia
Vishal's previous attempt to enter politics
Back in 2017, Vishal tried to enter electoral politics by running in the RK Nagar by-poll election. However, his nomination was rejected because he had only eight valid proposers, two short of the required number.
Currently, Vishal is busy filming his upcoming movie Rathnam and remains focused on his welfare activities and fan club.
