Thala Ajith, Vivek Oberoi's Vivegam aims for August 10 release

The makers of Ajith Kumar’s Vivegam are planning to release the film on August 10. The final leg of shooting will resume in Bulgaria from March 16 and Ajith air-dashed from Hyderabad yesterday night to join the team.

“It will be a month-long schedule and all the lead actors will be part of this. The team has not finalized any date to release the first look teaser yet. The team will again come back to India and shoot some patchwork portions towards the end of April,” informs a source to HT.

According to trade sources, the film has extraordinary pre-release expectations with the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights pegged at a whopping Rs 50 crores, only next to Rajinikanth’s Kabali, which was sold for Rs 68 crores.

Vivegam marks Ajith’s third collaboration with director Siva after Veeram and Vedalam. Tipped to be an international spy thriller, Vivegam has Ajith and Kajal Agarwal as leads. Akshara Haasan plays Ajith’s colleague in the film, which has Vivek Oberoi making his debut in Tamil as the baddie.

Produced by TG Thyagarajan under the banner Sathya Jyothi Films, Anirudh is composing music for the project. Anthony Ruben will take care of the editing work.
