Rumour has it that the makers of Ajith-starrer Viswasam have approached Anushka Shetty for the film. Ajith is the only actor on board so far, as per official announcement.

"We'll get to know the details of the cast and crew after December 20. Shooting will start from February next year. As of now, pre-production work is going on in full swing," says a source. 

The film is likely to have music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has earlier collaborated with Ajith on blockbusters like Dheena, Billa, Mankatha and Arrambam. It will mark Yuvan's first association with director Siva. 

Viswasam, touted to be a commercial entertainer set in a village backdrop, is scheduled to hit screens for Diwali 2018.
