Vishal, currently multitasking as an actor, the president of the Producers Council, and the secretary of the Nadigar Sangam, will be seen in a triple role in his next Tamil outing, to be directed by newcomer Venkat.

To be produced by CV Kumar, the film has been titled Naalai Namadhey, and will be made on a high budget. While the rest of the cast and crew are yet to be finalised, we have learnt that Lakshmi Menon is likely to be one of the leading heroines.

“The regular shooting will commence from the first week of July. Vishal will be juggling between the sets of this project and his upcoming multi-starrer flick Karuppu Raja Vella Raja with Karthi. He is excited about both the projects because he is getting to play something he hasn’t attempted before. His three characters in this film will be as different as chalk and cheese. In the film with Karthi, he plays a character with negative shades,” a source said.

Currently busy wrapping Irumbu Thirai and Thupparivaalan, Vishal might end up having at least three releases this year. He would also like to take out time for his other roles, which he has recently taken up.
