Tamil actor Vishal has questioned Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay over the decision to assign the Film Technology and Cinematograph Act portfolio to Egmore MLA Rajmohan. His remarks came after Governor Rajendra Arlekar approved the allocation of portfolios to the nine ministers sworn in alongside Vijay on May 10.

Taking to X on May 16, Vishal said it was “disheartening” to see Rajmohan handling the film-related ministry, arguing that Vijay himself was better equipped to address the concerns of the Tamil film industry because of his decades-long association with cinema. The actor stressed that the industry was “actually bleeding” and in urgent need of reforms and relief measures.
