'Bala has taken a bigger risk' says avan ivan hero Vishal

Vishal's role as an effeminate, squint-eyed street artist has come in for so much praise that Avan-Ivan has come to be called as Vishal's film. But the actor insists that it belongs to the whole team.

"I've received such responses, but to be honest, it is still Bala's film and not Vishal's or Arya's. I should say Bala has taken a bigger risk than me. He decided to shed his image and do a film for the masses, totally targeting the box office and to give a boost to my career. This is the first time he has ever thought like this in his career," says Vishal.
