Popular Tamil actor Vishal took everyone by surprise after he publicly accused an official at the Central Board of Film Certification of taking over Rs 6 lakh from him to release the Hindi version of 'Marn Antony' in theatres. After Vishal posted the video on Instagram, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry ordered an immediate inquiry and said that the strictest action would be taken against anyone involved in this corruption case. Vishal has now expressed his gratitude towards PM Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and I&B ministry for taking 'immediate steps'.

Vishal posted on X, "I sincerely thank @MIB_India for taking immediate steps on this important matter pertaining to corruption issue in #CBFC Mumbai. Thank you very much for the necessary action taken and definitely hope for this to be an example for every government official who intends to or is part of corruption and to take the honest route to serve the nation and not the steps of corruption."

He added, "I once again thank my Prime Minister @narendramodi and Maharastra CM @mieknathshinde and everyone involved in brining out this initiative immediately. It brings a sense of satisfaction to a common man like me and others that justice will be served to people who are victims of corruption, Jai-Hind."

Earlier, while posting the video about the incident on Instagram, Vishal wrote, "#Corruption being shown on silver screen is fine. But not in real life. Can't digest. Especially in govt offices. And even worse happening in #CBFC Mumbai office. Had to pay 6.5 lacs for my film #MarkAntonyHindi version. 2 transactions. 3 Lakhs for screening and 3.5 Lakhs for certificate."

"Never faced this situation ever in my career. Had no option but to pay the concerned mediator #Menaga coz too much at stake since movie released today. Bringing this to the notice of Hon Chief Minister of Maharashtra and my Hon PM Narendra Modiji. Doing this is not for me but for future producers. NOT HAPPENING. My hard earned money gone for corruption ??? No way. Evidence down for all to hear. Hope truth prevails as always. GB," he added.

On the work front, Vishal was recently seen in 'Mark Antony' along with SJ Suryah.
