Former High Court Judge Rajeswaran was appointed as the Election Officer of the Tamil Nadu (TN) Film Producers Council.

Background
Vishal was suspended by the council in November 2016 for allegedly criticising the functioning of some of its office-bearers.
Subsequently, the actor moved the Madras High Court challenging the suspension order, which was rescinded by the council after he apologised for his purported remarks.
