Vishal, who runs the South Indian Artistes' Association, put out a long tribute after veteran Tamil producer AVM Saravanan died from health issues related to his age. The actor remembered meeting Saravanan throughout his career at AVM Studios, and he called the place a major learning experience that shaped his path in film.
Vishal pointed out how other producers in the industry looked up to Saravanan for his commitment and honest approach to filmmaking. He mentioned that the late producer's work would keep serving as educational material for people trying to break into directing.
A bunch of big names from Tamil cinema showed up to pay respects, and the whole industry feels pretty bummed about losing him. Directors like SP Muthuraman and P Vasu came by, along with actors such as Suriya, Sivakumar, and Vikram Prabhu.
