Reports indicate that during the production of Magudam, Vishal and Ravi Arasu had creative differences. To prevent any delays or ensure the timely completion of the film, Vishal took over as the director. Ramesh Bala, an insider of the industry, confirmed the news in a post in which he showed Vishal directing actively on the set.

Vishal Takes Charge of Magudam After Parting Ways With Ravi Arasu

According to inside sources, the creative differences emerged between Vishal and the director, Ravi Arasu, while working on Magudam. Therefore, to arrest any more issues from setting in, he would be directing the film to ensure it was delivered on time. Ramesh Bala, an industry insider, confirmed this in his recent post with visuals of Vishal actively directing scenes on the set.

This is not the first time Vishal has directed.

The last time he directed, it was Thupparivalan 2, which he took on after having parted with Mysskin; news on that project has all gone quiet.

Magudam is an action-packed gangster drama in which Vishal portrays multiple avatars. Dushara Vijayan, Anjali, and Yogi Babu play key roles in the film. G.V. Prakash Kumar composes the film's music. The first-look poster of the film, released earlier this year, had Vishal in three looks and created a huge buzz among fans.
