Vishal has been having quite a tough time out there in Kollywood after his much-hyped home production 'Thoranai' flopped miserably. His next film 'Theeratha Vilaiyattu Pillai' was to be produced by Ramesh, who produced Vijay's 'Pokkiri' a few years ago. Ramesh, however, had seconds thoughts about going ahead with the film after the 'Thoranai' debacle and had reportedly now backed out of 'Theeratha…' as the producer.

Unfazed by this, Vishal himself got in touch with a few production houses but the response was said to be far from encouraging. Finally, he has decided to make 'Theeratha…' again a product from his home stable of G.K. Film Corporation. Vikram Krishna, Vishal's brother and owner of GKFC, is said to have asked Vishal how the public would be accepting him in a 'romantic' role in 'Theeratha…' which is in sharp contrast to the 'action' image they have of him.

Unable to bypass his brother's suggestions, Vishal has asked the story-writer to make the relevant changes in the script so as to suit his 'image'. Well, we surely have not heard the last line in the subject!
