Vivek Oberoi to play villain in Ajith’s Thala 57

Vivek coming aboard to play the antagonist in Ajith’s film is the top news from Kollywood on Thursday morning. However, the actor and the makers are yet to officially confirm the news. An announcement in this regard is expected soon.

Vivek is a familiar face down south as his Rakta Charitra movies were dubbed in Tamil. However, Thala 57 marks his original debut film in Kollywood. Meanwhile, when it comes to playing a gangster, nobody does better than Vivek.

Thala 57 team recently returned from Europe after completing the first schedule of the shoot. After a small break, they resumed the shooting for the film in Hyderabad.

The film, directed by Siva, marks his third collaboration with Ajith. Previously, the actor-director duo has delivered hit films like Veeram and Vedalam. The film is being produced by Sathya Jyothi Films and has music from Anirudh Ravichander.

The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Akshara Haasan, Thambi Ramaiah, Karunakaran and Appukutty among others in important roles. It is expected to hit the screens in May this year.
