It came as a pleasant surprise to everyone when Vishal announced that he would be contesting independently in the coming R.K.Nagar by-elections.
 

The Thupparivalan actor filed his nomination today morning (December 4), and met the people of R.K.Nagar, to know their problems. He had said that Arvind Kejriwal was his inspiration to make this big move in the politics, though he hadn't met him in person. Now, Vishal has now been congratulated and welcomed by that same iconic politician Kejriwal, who is the Chief Minister of Delhi.

Kejriwal tweeted, "Welcome @VishalKOfficial. Ur entry in politics will inspire many youngsters. Lets meet up when u come to Del next"

Vishal replied to this tweet by saying, "Thank U very much @ArvindKejriwal Sir. The Change is inevitable & more youngsters must join Politics to make our Country a global powerhouse. #YoungstersAreTheFuture"
