The Unexpected Move to Direct

Until recently, Magudam was being directed by Ravi Arasu, known for Eetti and Velaikkaran. However, Vishal recently confirmed that he had stepped in to direct the film himself. In an emotional statement, he said he never expected to take on this responsibility but that circumstances left him with no other option.

He explained that the decision came from a sense of duty rather than pressure. “Cinema is a promise made to both the audience and the producers,” Vishal wrote, adding that he wanted to ensure the film met its full potential. Reports from the Tamil industry suggest that creative disagreements between the actor and the original director led to the change, although both parties have remained professional and diplomatic in their public comments.

Ravi Arasu continues to hold the story credit, while Vishal has taken charge of direction to shape the final cut according to his vision. This shift marks Vishal’s first outing as a director, adding another milestone to his long career in Tamil cinema.
