Vishal's 'Purushan' Heads to Kolkata for 20-Day Shoot Schedule

Vishal is currently shooting for the film in Chennai. Sources say the present schedule will go on for a week or so after which the team is to head to Kolkata for its next schedule.

Says a source close to the actor, "The Kolkata schedule is likely to be around 20 days. After that, the team has plans to go to Goa for a song shoot. With the completion of songs, the entire film would be wrapped up."

It may be recalled that the makers of the film had announced its title in January this year on the occasion of director Sundar C's birthday.

Taking to his X timeline to share a link to a promo of the film, Vishal had then said,"...wishing my darling brother a very, very happy entertaining and fun-filled birthday."

The actor, who went on to call Sundar C as his favourite director, added,"... I am super happy to kickstart my next film #Vishal36 titled as #Purushan with him for the 4th time after the grand success of #MadhaGajaRaja!"

Vishal also went on to share his thoughts on working again with Tamannaah Bhatia, who plays the female lead in the film.

He wrote, "Produced by Dhiya ACS, and joining hands once again with my darling @tamannaahspeaks for the third time, feels great to team up after so long! It's going to be a super fun ride with loads to offer from the evergreen mass moviemaker, backed by a stellar star cast including #YogiBabu and a powerful technical team, #DOP: Gopi Amarnaath, #Music: Hiphop Tamizha & many others. Can't wait to share more updates soon!"

The title promo that was released showed Vishal playing the husband of Tamannaah in the film. The promo shows Tamannaah calling the shots in the family while he appears to be a docile, subservient husband. As she watches a television serial sipping a beverage, Vishal is seen mopping the house.

Yogi Babu, who is a television actor and also the couple's neighbour in the film, enters their home at this point with clothes that Tamannaah has put out to dry. He says that it was about to rain and therefore he thought he would bring the clothes in.

A star struck Tamannaah thanks him and sings Yogi Babu's praises to her husband Vishal, even as she puts him down. She eventually asks her husband to make some tea for Yogi Babu. As Vishal obeys and goes to make tea, he senses assassins entering their premises. A big fight ensues in the kitchen, even as Vishal continues to make tea. Yogi Babu, who comes to the kitchen to get a glass of water for himself, sees Vishal whacking the bad guys. However, Tamannaah has no clue of how capable her husband is...

The film, which will have music by Hip Hop Tamizha, will have cinematography by Gopi Amarnath and editing by Roger. The film is being produced by A C S Arun Kumar.
