Vishnuu Vishal has another reason to celebrate. As Gatta Kusthi 2 continues its impressive run in theatres, the actor-producer received a special congratulatory call from none other than Aamir Khan, who was quick to applaud the film’s success at the box office.
The sequel to the 2022 hit Gatta Kusthi has been drawing steady crowds across Tamil Nadu since its release, aided by strong family audiences and positive word of mouth. Reports suggest the film has already crossed its break-even point in the state, making it a profitable outing for Vishnuu Vishal and adding another commercial success to his filmography.
Aamir Khan celebrates Gatta Kusthi 2’s successful theatrical run
Sharing a glimpse of the memorable moment on X, Vishnuu posted about his video call with Aamir Khan, who couldn’t hide his excitement over the film’s performance.
“Congratulations Vishnu. Huge blockbuster. So happy,” Aamir told the actor during the call.
A visibly delighted Vishnuu responded with a heartfelt note that read, “So excited to get a call from the one and only Aamir Khan sir who is super happy on seeing the blockbuster response to Gatta Kusthi 2. Thank you Aamir sir for always being a pillar of support and having my back.”
The exchange once again highlighted the warm friendship the two actors have shared over the past few years, one that has steadily grown beyond the film industry.
A friendship that grew stronger with time
Vishnuu Vishal has often spoken about his bond with Aamir Khan, revealing that it began through an unexpected meeting involving his wife, former badminton star Jwala Gutta.
In an earlier interview, Vishnuu recalled that what started as an “accidental meetup” gradually evolved into a close family friendship. Over time, Aamir became a regular presence in their lives, with the relationship deepening through shared experiences.
One of those moments came during the 2023 Chennai floods, when Vishnuu extended support to Aamir while the latter was in the city taking care of his mother. Their friendship continued to flourish, and in another touching gesture, Aamir travelled to Hyderabad last year to name Vishnuu and Jwala’s daughter, Mira.
Professionally, Vishnuu is enjoying the rewards of Gatta Kusthi 2’s successful run. Directed by Chella Ayyavu, the sequel reunites him with Aishwarya Lekshmi, who reprises her role as wrestler Keerthi, while Vishnuu returns as Veera. Kaali Venkat, Karunaas, Munishkanth, Lizie Antony, Gajaraj and Sreeja Ravi also reprise their roles, with Ramya Krishnan and Yogi Babu joining the franchise alongside Karunakaran, Mokksha and child actor Zara Zyanna.
The sequel picks up after the events of the first film, with Veera honouring his promise to support Keerthi’s wrestling career by taking on the responsibilities of a house husband. However, differing approaches to raising their daughter Mathi Malar and the pressures of balancing family and ambition begin to drive a wedge between the couple. As Keerthi puts her career on hold and their marriage edges towards divorce, the story explores themes of equality, sacrifice and the meaning of partnership within a family.
With audiences embracing its blend of humour, emotion and social commentary, Gatta Kusthi 2 has struck a chord with family viewers. The film’s commercial success, coupled with appreciation from one of Indian cinema’s biggest stars, has made the victory even sweeter for Vishnuu Vishal.
