It is official now! Ajith’s much awaited 56th film, featuring Shruti Haasan as his romantic interest and Lakshmi Menon essaying the role of his sister, has been titled Vedhalam.
Since Ajith, director Siruthai Siva and producer AM Ratnam are ardent devotees of Sai Baba, the title of Thala 56 was announced as the clock struck 12 am on Thursday, an auspicious day for Sai Baba. The first look poster reveals Ajith in a red shirt and short-cropped hair with thick bracelets, chains, studs and rings on all fingers resembling his look in the 2002 movie Red.
People in the know say that while Ajith will be seen as a doting brother in the current portions, he has a daring past which appears in flashbacks, where he will reportedly play a local don named Vedhalam. Sources also say that Vedhalam means someone distinguished and inconspicuous. The film, which also has Kabir Singh, Soori and Rahul Dev in supporting roles, has music by Anirudh will be a Diwali treat for Thala fans.
