Viswasam shoot kickstarts in Hyderabad

Ajith, who celebrated his 47th birthday on May 1, started shooting for Viswasam yesterday. According to sources, the actor is in Hyderabad, where the first schedule will go on for a month. On Sunday, a picture of Ajith at the airport went viral on social media. Composer SS Thaman too bumped into the actor, and wrote, "With our own thala. Energy vera level." A source said the makers have spent a lot on set work in Hyderabad near Ramoji Film City. 

Touted to be a commercial entertainer, Viswasam, directed by Siva, marks the fourth collaboration of the filmmaker with Ajith after Veeram, Vedhalam and Vivegam. The film was supposed to go on floors by March, but was delayed due to the TFPC strike. 

Imman, who is on board as the music director, has finished composing two songs for the film that stars Nayanthara as the female lead. 

It is said that Viswasam will be a rural film, at the insistence of Ajith, and the actor will reportedly dye his hair black and sport a new look for the film.
