Kollywood star Vishal’s latest public appearance has become a hot topic on social media and left his fans and well-wishers worried. The actor attended the pre-release event of his long-delayed comedy entertainer, Madha Gaja Raja, in Chennai on Sunday evening.

Onlookers were first worried when they noticed Vishal entering the venue with an assistant’s support. This was followed by a visibly shaky and emotional speech by Vishal, with his hands literally shivering as he held a microphone. While some fans clarified that Vishal was shivering due to high fever, netizens wondered if all is well with the actor’s health. An official update on the actor’s well-being is eagerly awaited by his anxious fans.

Madha Gaja Raja, directed by Sundar C and starring Santhanam, Anjali, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in lead roles, was supposed to release in 2013. After a 12-year-long delay, the film is finally seeing the light of day on January 12 as a Pongal festive treat.
