Vishal's Samar an action entertainer directed by Thiru has been cleared by the censors with an UA certificate. Now the film is slated for release on December 28.

Samar is produced by T Ramesh for Jaya Balaji Real Media and has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. It features Vishal, Trisha, Sunaina and Manoj Bajpai in the lead along with JD Chakravarthy making a special appearance.

It also means Vishal will have a 2012 release if his Samar releases on December 28. Remember the star's last release was the Prabhu Deva directed Vedi in 2011, which was a failure.

Now Vishal will have back to back releases within a span of two weeks with Samar due on December 28 followed by Sundar C directed Madha Gaja Raja for Pongal
