Vishal's Irumbu Thirai, directed by debutante P.S.Mithran, is one of the promising films of the year, which is scheduled for a 2018 Republic Day release, on January 26.
 

Now, it has been officially revealed that Vishal will be playing an army officer in the film, who is a Major. Vishal's character name in the film is, 'Major R.Kathiravan, IC41620L', who'd apparently be locking his horns against Action King Arjun, the baddie.

The film, which features Samantha as the female lead, has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematography by George.C.Williams and editing by Ruben.
