Director Siva plans to reunite with Ajith for a historical film after Viswasam

Thala Ajith’s eagerly awaited rural mass entertainer Viswasam is all set to hit screens this coming Thursday (January 10). The Siva directorial is releasing amidst high expectations thanks to the promising promos. According to the makers, Viswasam is a clean commercial entertainer that families would love to watch during this festive season.

Viswasam is Ajith’s fourth film with director Siva after Veeram, Vedhalam and Vivegam. Apparently, the director is planning another film with Ajith. This time it will be a historical project. In a recent interview, when asked if the project is still on cards, he said, “Yes, it is. I definitely want to do it. It may happen in the future.”

While Veeram and Vedhalam were regular mass entertainers that emerged as box office hits, Vivegam was an ambitious attempt in making a spy-thriller. The movie made on a huge budget with a big star cast failed to impress the critics and bombed at the box office. Ajith and Siva will be hoping to return back to winning ways with Viswasam.

As per reports, Ajith currently has signed for two films with Boney Kapoor’s production company. Both the films will reportedly be helmed by H Vinoth of ‘Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru’ fame. Shoot for the first film, Thala 59, has already commenced. It is an official remake of the acclaimed Hindi film, ‘Pink’ in which Ajith reprises the role played by Amitabh Bachchan in the original.
