'Let the entertainment begin': Vishal begins shooting for Sundar C’s ‘Purushan’ with Tamannaah Bhatia and Yogi Babu

Actor Vishal has started shooting for 'Purushan', directed by Sundar C, in Chennai. The film has officially gone on floors before the final schedule of Vishal’s own directorial 'Magudam'. The team plans to shoot the entire movie in one stretch and release it in August. This quick schedule shows that the makers are aiming for a smooth and fast production. The official announcement of the shoot has increased excitement among fans.

Commercial entertainer with popular cast and crew

"And it’s Purushan time starting from today! Shoot begins in Chennai with my favorite director Sundar C. Let the entertainment begin!," wrote Vishal on his X (formerly Twitter) handle to confirm the filming commencement of 'Purushan.' The film is designed as a full action-comedy entertainer, a genre for which Sundar C is well known. Tamannaah Bhatia plays the female lead, and Yogi Babu appears in an important role that will add humour to the story. The camera work is handled by Gopi Amarnath, and the music is composed by Hiphop Tamizha. A short promo video released recently received a good response on the internet. The colourful visuals and energetic tone have created a strong early buzz for the project.

Successful collaborations raise expectations for the reunion

Sundar C is much loved by the masses when it comes to commercial movies. ‘Kalakalappu’ and ‘Aranmanai’ were massive successes among the audiences. His films with Vishal, ‘Aambala’ and 'Action', did well and proved rewarding in having them as a combination. They later joined hands for 'Madha Gaja Raja', which was delayed for many years before finally releasing last year and garnering a positive response. Because of these films, expectations for 'Purushan' are now very high among fans and trade circles.

Bilingual release and continuous shoot plan

'Purushan' is being made in both Tamil and Telugu so that it can reach a wider audience. With the shooting commencing, the team plans to continue without long breaks to meet the release target. The pairing of Vishal and Tamannaah Bhatia, Yogi Babu's comedy track, and Hiphop Tamizha's music are seen as the film’s major strengths.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
