Vivegam to be released in over 200 screens in Kerala; Biggest ever release for an Ajith starrer!

Tamil movies have always had a huge market in Kerala. Vijay, Suriya and superstar Rajinikanth have given tight competition to Malayalam stars during their movies’ release time. The wide popularity of Kollywood stars have even forced filmmakers in Kerala to plan their releases accordingly.

Over the last few years, Tamil superstar Ajith has also extended his market to Kerala. He enjoys great popularity in the state and that is evident from the rousing initial response for his movies. His latest film Vivegam is gearing up for a massive release. We had earlier reported about Mulakupadam Films acquiring the distribution rights for Vivegam in Kerala.

According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, the movie will be released in over 200 screens all over Kerala. This will reportedly be the biggest ever release for an Ajith film in the state. Earlier, Tomichan Mulakupadam had bagged the rights for a whopping Rs 4.25 crores, which was also the highest ever for an Ajith starrer.

Vivegam is a spy thriller directed by Siruthai Siva, his third successive film with Ajith aftee Veeram and Vedhalam. This is Ajith’s first release in two years and the highly impressive teaser and promos have enhanced the anticipation levels. Release date has not yet been confirmed eventhough there are reports that the movie will hit screens worldwide on August 17. Censoring was done today and the CBFC officals have given a U/A certificate due to the fight scenes.

Ajith is tipped to be playing the role of a Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agent in the movie. He has undergone a terrific make over for the movie by shedding down a lot of extra pounds.

Kajal Agarwal is playing the female lead while Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi and Kamal Haasan’s younger daughter Akshara Haasan will be seen in prominent roles. Young sensation Anriudh Ravichander has composed the music. This big budget movie is produced by Satya Jyothi Films.
