Tamil actor Vishal Krishna Reddy, widely known as Vishal, sparked concern among his fans after his appearance at the pre-release event of his upcoming film, Madha Gaja Raja, in Chennai on Sunday evening.
In a viral video from the event that has now surfaced on social media, Vishal can be seen visibly shivering, with his hands trembling as he interacted with the audience. He also appeared to struggle with his speech, at times zoning out while addressing the crowd.
After videos of Vishal's condition at the pre-release event went viral, fans expressed concern about his health. According to reports, the actor was suffering from a high fever, which caused the visible shivering. Despite his illness, fans praised Vishal's dedication and commitment to attending the event and engaging with the audience.

Neither Vishal nor his team has released an official statement regarding his health. The pre-release event, however, was attended by the film's cast and crew. Actress-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar, who is also the wife of director Sundar C, graced the occasion and greeted Vishal warmly with a hug.
Madha Gaja Raja features a star-studded cast, including Santhanam, Anjali, Sonu Sood, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and the late Manobala. Directed by Sundar C, the film was initially slated for release in 2013 but faced a decade-long delay due to financial and legal complications. It is now finally scheduled to hit theaters on January 12, 2025 after 12 years of delay.
