Tamil film star Vishal has quashed speculations regarding his immediate entry into politics, asserting that he remains focused on his acting career for the time being. However, he expressed a willingness to advocate for law enforcement if the need arises. Amidst swirling rumors on social media about his potential political affiliations ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Vishal emphasized that his primary goal has always been to serve the people rather than seek political gains.
"I have never pursued political ambitions for personal gain," Vishal declared, reaffirming his commitment to public service. He indicated that while he currently has no plans to enter politics, he remains open to representing the interests of the people if circumstances change in the future.
Acknowledging the unwavering support of the Tamil people, Vishal highlighted his efforts to transform fan clubs into a broader welfare movement. He underscored his dedication to grassroots-level initiatives, particularly in the realm of education, through the establishment of the "Devi Foundation" in honor of his mother.
Vishal's political aspirations faced a setback in 2017 when his bid to contest the by-election for the RK Nagar assembly seat in Chennai was thwarted. The presiding officer rejected his nomination, preventing him from officially entering the political arena at that time.
Despite the setback, Vishal remains committed to his acting career while keeping the door open to potential future involvement in politics. His stance reflects a balance between his professional commitments in the film industry and his desire to serve the community through various social welfare initiatives.
