It will either be Vijay or Vijay Sethupathi

Vishal is gearing up for his next release Naan Sigappu Manithan (NSM) directed by Thiru featuring him and Lakshmi Menon as the main leads. Music of the film scored by G V Prakash was released recently and has been garnering good response.

NSM is being co-produced by Vishal’s production firm Vishal Film Factory along with UTV motion pictures. In addition to acting and producing, Vishal also nurtures a desire to direct a film. It was also stated that he was considering Shruthi Haasan for his script.

However, when questioned about the male lead hero for his film, Vishal states that he will definitely not work as hero in his directorial venture but candidly admits that he would like to have Ilayathalapathy Vijay as hero in his film.

He says, “Whenever I conceive a story, Vijay only comes into my mind. He has given so much of support to first time directors”. He further elaborates, “In case I want to narrate a story, my first choice will be to tell Vijay and the next would be Vijay Sethupathi”. It is a known fact that Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi are two heroes who have worked with a lot of first time directors.
