Vishal Suspended From Tamil Nadu Film Producers’ Council

Chennai: Actor Vishal Krishna has been suspended from Tamil Nadu Film Producers' Council in connection with his remarks over anti-piracy issue.

A statement from the Council said that Vishal had spoken ill about the Producer’s council thereby disrupting the unity and harmony of the committee during an interview to a leading weekly magazine. The producers' association said that it sent a notice to him and his response was not found to be satisfactory.
