He didn't take names of Trisha or Raju, and wrote, “I just heard that a stupid idiot from a political party spoke very ill and disgustingly about someone from our film fraternity. I will not mention your name nor the name of the person you targeted because I know you did it for publicity. I definitely will not mention names because we are not just good friends but also mutual co artistes in the film fraternity. (sic)”
He added, “What you have done is absolutely filthy and not worth mentioning, But these particular ppl mean a lot personally and professionally. Honestly, I don't want to condemn you, which is an understatement, but I hope you rot in hell. (sic)”.
“Of course, this has become a trend of trying to make money out of negative publicity about celebrities. Get a job, a better job (sic)”, Vishal concluded his post.
Not only Vishal, many celebs from the industry slammed Raju for his filthy comments. Filmmaker Cheran filed for an arrest warrant against the politician for falsely accusing Trisha and spreading rumours against her without any evidence.
