Popular Tamil actor and producer Vishal on Saturday visited the `Shaktidhama`, an orphanage run by late Kannada superstar Puneeth Rajkumar`s family in Mysuru city of Karnataka. Vishal also held talks with the staff and management of the orphanage centre.  `Shaktidhama`, which takes care of 1,500 orphaned children was run by superstar Puneeth. But he never revealed about his philanthropic initiative and it came to light only after his untimely demise.

After Puneeth`s death, Vishal had announced that he would take charge of `Shaktidhama` and look after orphaned children. However, Puneeth`s family maintained that they would continue to take care of the orphanage centre. After the visit, Vishal said that he would always remain a volunteer of the `Shaktidhama` and requested Puneeth`s family consent.
