In a significant development in the ongoing CBI investigation into the alleged corruption at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Mumbai office, Tamil actor Vishal visited the CBI office on Tuesday to provide his statement. The actor had earlier accused CBFC officials of demanding a bribe for granting censor certification for the Hindi version of his film, Mark Antony.

Vishal took to social media to share his experience at the CBI office, describing it as a "new experience" and expressing his satisfaction with the way the investigation is being conducted. "Was a complete new experience and am glad the way the enquiry is being conducted," he tweeted.

The actor's visit to the CBI office comes amidst growing scrutiny of the CBFC, with several filmmakers alleging that they have been subjected to corruption and harassment by the board's officials.
