While Ajith is celebrating the arrival of Kutty Thala with his family, director Siva of Veeram fame is scouting locations for his next film with Ajith. Sources say Siva has started reccing spots in and around Kolkata, which may act as a principal location for the film. Siva is likely to stay in Kolkata for a week to finalize the locations, informs a source.
Produced by AM Rathnam, Thala 56 is said to be a urban actioner and the female lead is yet to be nailed down. Shruti Haasan is said to be the leading choice. While Santhanam will provide the comic relief, GV Prakash has been roped in to compose music.
