Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Actor-producer Vishnu Vishal has confirmed that his proposed project with director Arunraja Kamaraj will not proceed, citing creative differences and budgeting issues. In a social media statement on Tuesday, Vishnu said he had spent ten months preparing for the film, which he hoped to begin after the release of Gatta Kusthi 2. Despite his efforts to resolve the problems, both sides decided to part ways. Legal proceedings related to the project will take time to settle. Vishnu, who also produces films, called it a difficult decision for both parties and wished Arunraja the best. He is now focusing on his upcoming release Irandu Vaanam and his brother's film Yellow Yellow Dirty Fellow. Arunraja Kamaraj is known for directing Kanaa and Nenjuku Needhi.
