CHENNAI: Actor Vishal, who announced his entry into active politics by deciding to contest the RK Nagar bypoll, will be paying his respects to late AIADMK Supremo J Jayalalithaa, at her memorial at 10 am before filing his nomination at the RK Nagar election office on Monday.

According to a press release from his team, Vishal will visit the Ramapuram house of AIADMK's late founder, M G Ramachandran before heading to the Amma Memorial at the Marina Beach.
