Vishal, with his tall stature and the conventional dark and handsome looks, won a sizeable number of fans especially teenagers, in 2006.
After a hat-trick of hits, this Pongal, Vishal will have Thamiraparani getting released. Vijay's Pokiri will hit the screens on the same day. It would be an interesting contest between the two Vs now (Vijay and Vishal).
This is the first time that both Vijay and Vishal would have their releases on the same day. Expectations are running high on both the films. Vijay's Pokiri is directed by Prabhudeva while Thamiraparani has director Hari wielding the megaphone.
