Tamil Nadu is reeling under the extreme intensity of Cyclone Michaung. Actor Vishal said the response from the Chennai Corporation to the ongoing heavy rains and floods in Chennai and nearby areas in the wake of Cyclone Michaung is disappointing.
Vishal says that his current house in Anna Nagar also got flooded and one can only imagine the situation in lower areas. Vishal’s response is through social media. To know Dear Chennai Mayor Priya Rajan and all other officials of Chennai Corporation. Hope you all are safe with your families.
Hope your homes are not flooded and there are no interruptions to food or electricity. sought as a voter. Because the situation of citizens in the same city where you live is different. Was the project that was supposed to help during the floods implemented for Chennai or Singapore?
In 2015, we all took to the streets with the rescue mission. How sad to see worse after eight years. This time too we will come down with food and water. But this time it would be good to see the MLAs of all the constituencies active in the field of rescue operations. My head hangs in shame as I write this.
Don’t expect a miracle. But that is your responsibility to the citizens. Vishal also wrote in X. In the accompanying video, Vishal says as follows – “I am in Anna Nagar now. There is now a foot of water in my house. If this is the situation in Anna Nagar, think about the situation in lower areas.
This is not speaking as an actor, but speaking as a voter. Children and the elderly are living in fear at home. This is not meant to be against anyone politically or otherwise. It is about the problem of flood. Vishal concludes by saying that people should not ask why they should pay taxes.
At the same time, actors and brothers Suriya and Karthi have announced a donation of Rs 10 lakh as a starting point for the relief work in Chennai and nearby areas, which are reeling under extreme rains and floods. This amount has been given for relief work in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Chengalpet, and Thiruvallur districts where the floods were severe. Both their fan groups are active in relief efforts.
Meanwhile, Cyclone Michaung is moving northwards from Chennai. It is estimated that it will touch the Andhra coast before tomorrow afternoon. Heavy rains continue in Chennai. The Meteorological Department forecasts that this rain and wind will continue till this afternoon.

Officials say that the power will be restored after two hours after the rain stops completely. 162 relief camps have already been opened in Chennai during Mishong Ketuti. Another critical incident in this context has also unfolded in recent days. At the time of the Chennai flood, the news was the re-release of an old Vijay film.
Vijay’s film Kaththi, released in 2014, was re-released at Rohini Silver Screens, a prominent theater in Chennai. This re-release was organized to coincide with Vijay completing 31 years in cinema as the hero. Vijay’s first film Nalaiyya Theerp was released on December 4, 1992.
Bookings have also started for the re-release of Kaththi. Scenes from the show on the third day, which was heavily rained and flooded in Chennai, are circulating on social media. The audience can also be seen cheering for their beloved actor on the screen. But the comments questioning the logic of such a re-release at a time when Chennai is reeling under the difficulties of the flood are reaching below the videos. Box office trackers that share videos from inside theaters have also come under fire.
Meanwhile, theaters including Rohini Silverscreen in Coimbatore were closed till yesterday.
