The Story in Brief
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.

The usual buzz around 'creative differences' often masks deeper financial strain in Tamil cinema. Here, Vishnu has been unusually candid by naming budgeting as a major industry challenge. That is the real story: rising costs are squeezing mid-budget projects regardless of talent. Watch for whether other producers admit similar pressures in the coming months. The number to track is the budget of his next announced film, if it drops, the trend is confirmed.
