The first-look of actor Vishnu Vishal and Manjima Mohan’s upcoming film FIR is out. It is directed by Manu Anand, a former associate of Gautham Vasudev Menon.
The poster of the film was released by composer Anirudh Ravichander yesterday, on the eve of Vishnu Vishal’s birthday. It features the actor’s face, masked by a dark cloth, with newspaper cuttings about terrorist groups in the background. The title FIR stands for Faizal Ibrahim Raiz.

Vishnu celebrates his 35th birthday today. He was last seen in Silkkuvarapatti Singam, and is currently busy with director Ezhil’s Jagajala Killadi co-starring Nivetha Pethuraj. He also has VV18 with Vikranth, written by Vijay Sethupathi and directed by Sanjeev. There is speculation that he will reprise Nani’s role as a cricketer in the Tamil remake of Jersey, one of the biggest Telugu hits of this year. Reports say Rana Daggubati has acquired the Tamil remake rights, and has already approached Vishnu Vishal to play the lead, and Nelson Venkatesan to direct the film.
Meanwhile, Manjima Mohan has Queen Malayalam remake Zam Zam under production, and is shooting for Kamalakannan’s Vattam with Sibi Sathyaraj, Athulya Ravi and Andrea Jeremiah. She also has a film with Arulnithi and Jiiva under production.
