Actor Vishal is all set to embark on a new chapter in his career with Magudam in Tamil and Makutam in Telugu. The highly anticipated action drama marks Vishal's directorial debut, adding another milestone to his journey in South Indian cinema. Adding to the excitement, the actor has now revealed that he has also stepped behind the microphone as a rapper for the film's first Telugu single, Rise of Linga.
Sharing the update on social media, Vishal expressed his enthusiasm about collaborating once again with music composer and singer GV Prakash Kumar. Calling it their third project together, the actor highlighted that this film holds special significance as it marks his first venture as a director.

The addition of Vishal's rap portions and the fresh energy brought by V7H have helped the track stand out as an exciting musical offering. Fans have praised the song's powerful beats and mass appeal, making it one of the most talked-about releases in recent days.
Makutam is being positioned as a gritty mass action revenge drama packed with high-voltage action sequences, emotional moments, and intense storytelling. The film stars Vishal in the lead role alongside Anjali and Dushara Vijayan. The makers promise a complete commercial entertainer that combines action, drama, and strong character-driven emotions, elements that have traditionally resonated well with South Indian audiences.
