Vishal confirms 'viral video' with mysterious woman as prank

HYDERABAD: A video featuring actor Vishal with a mystery woman in New York surfaced on the internet yesterday, sparking intrigue among viewers. However, skepticism prevailed, with many dismissing it as a potential promotional strategy for an upcoming movie and considering it scripted. In fact, the video also looked staged completely.

Today, the actor took to social media to clarify that it was, in fact, a prank and not related to any movie promotion. Vishal, known for promptly addressing rumors and controversies, took a day to reveal the truth.

Vishal explained, 'Sorry guys, I guess it’s time to reveal the truth about the recent video. Well well well, it’s half true in terms of location, yes I am in New York, which is my regular retreat place with my cousins—a ritual to destress myself every year after a super chaotic rest of the year.'

He went on to share that the other half of the story was a prank orchestrated by his cousins on Christmas Day. The prank, directed, enacted, and executed by his cousins, brought out the kid in him. Vishal concluded by putting an end to all speculations, saying, 'Well, of course, some were bang on target. But no hard feelings. Love ya all.'
