Ajith Kumar is all set to begin his 2019 innings with a bang! The superstar, whom his fans lovingly call him as 'Thala', will be seen as the main lead in Viswasam. The film is directed by his favourite film-maker in recent times, Siva, whose earlier collaborations with Thala gave us blockbusters in Veeram, Vedalam and Vivegam. While 2017's Vivegam was their most expensive project, Viswasam is smaller in its scale, but is equally magnanimous in its hype.
