| Heroines In Race For 'THALA56' |
Even as Ajith is busy with his next movie directed by Gautham Menon,
the post-production works on his 56th film are on. The Thala will be
joining hands with Siva again after their hit film "Veeram".
The casting
process for the heroine has begun and several top names are being
considered. Well, Hansika Motwani, Samantha and Shruti Haasan are in the
race to bag the project.
The buzz says that Hansika Motwani is the top contender to bag the
forthcoming Tamil film, which is presently called by the name "Thala
56". The actress, who always dreamt of working with Ajith Kumar, is
unlikely to turn down the project even though she is busy with multiple
projects. Samantha and Shruti Hassan are the two actresses, whose names
are doing rounds to play the female lead in the flick.
Earlier,
there were reports that Vidya Balan and director Siva's favourite
Tamanna Bhatia were approached. But both the actresses had denied the
rumours. Along with female lead, the director has been finalising other
cast and crew. Santhanam, who was recently seen in Ajith's "Veeram", has
been reportedly signed to play a comedian role.
Rumours are also doing rounds that director Lingusamy's successful
production house Thirrupathi Brothers will bankroll the project. It may
be recalled that the director had earlier worked with Ajith Kumar in
"Ji", which was a hit at the box office.
As far as the technical
team is concerned, the "Veeram" team comprising of Devi Sri Prasad
(music department), Vetri (cinematography), Kasi Vishwanathan (editor)
and Silva (action director) have been retained for "Thala 56". The
director is giving final touches to the script and the movie is expected
to take off in December 2014. The makers of the film are eyeing Diwali
2015 for its release. We have to note that Siva and Ajith's earlier film
"Veeram" was a hit among family audience.
Meanwhile, Ajith Kumar is busy with his upcoming movie "Thala 55".
The film will hit the screens in November 2014 or January 2015.
