Tamil actor Vishal collapses on stage during an event, rushed to hospital

This incident has left everyone stressed about the actor’s health as it followed another health scare, after his recovery from dengue in January, this year. During the pre-release event of his film Madha Gaja Raja, Vishal’s health didn’t look best to fans. Despite suffering from a viral fever, he attended the event, looking visibly unwell and requiring help to even stand straight. A clip from the event surfaced on social media and went viral, showing him trembling while holding the mic.

Vishal addressed these concerns and shared that he had been suffering from a fever, reassuring fans he is doing well now. “I recently had a common fever, and I’m completely recovered now. There were false rumors claiming I wouldn’t be able to work for three or six months, but none of it is true,” he said, in his statement.

Meanwhile, his film Madha Gaja Raja was helmed by Sundar C. Along with Vishal, it also starred Anjali and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar. The movie was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres in 2013, but it faced several delays due to financial and legal problems and was then finally slated for release on January 12, 2025.
