Thala 58 aims for Diwali 2018 release; Ajith recuperates from shoulder surgery

As Ajith is recuperating from his shoulder surgery, which will put him out of action for another three months, his next project Thala 58 is expected to go on floors from early 2018.

Sources say the makers are planning to release the film for Diwali 2018 and work on the project timeline accordingly. Ajith’s last Diwali release was Siva’s Vedalam in 2015, which went on to become an all-time blockbuster in his career. While bankable sources confirm that Ajith will join hands with director Siva for the fourth time in Thala 58, an official announcement is awaited from the team.
