Puratchi Thalapathy Vishal has dropped a Diwali bomb for his fans! The actor has officially announced that his upcoming 35th film Makutam (titled Magutam in Tamil) marks his directorial debut. The film is being produced by RB Choudhary under the prestigious Super Good Films banner, which is celebrating its 99th production with this big project.
Vishal revealed the news while sharing the power-packed 2nd look poster of Makutam on the festive occasion of Diwali. In the poster, Vishal stuns everyone with a completely new avatar — appearing as an old man with grey hair, a beard, glasses, and a cigar in hand. Sitting on a royal chair in a classy suit, he looks intense, bold, and absolutely badass, making it one of his most striking looks to date.
In his heartfelt statement, Vishal explained how unexpected circumstances led him to take the director’s chair. He said that directing Makutam wasn’t a decision made out of compulsion but out of responsibility — to protect the producer’s efforts and deliver the best cinematic experience to the audience. Vishal emphasized that cinema is a commitment to both the viewers and the producers who trust and invest in every project.
Vishal has also written the screenplay for Makutam, while the story is by Ravi Arasu. The film features Dushara Vijayan as the female lead, with Anjali playing a key role. The technical team includes Richard M. Nathan as cinematographer, G.V. Prakash Kumar composing the music, NB Srikanth handling the editing, and Durairaj taking care of art direction.
With Vishal stepping into direction for the first time and the powerful second look already going viral, Makutam is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of his career. Fans can’t wait to see what the actor-turned-director delivers in this ambitious and action-packed project.
