Rumours have been floating around in various media that actress Anushka Shetty has been roped in or is likely to play a role opposite Thala Ajith in his upcoming 58th film Viswasam directed by Siruthai Siva. However, there was no official announcement or confirmation in this regard.
We contacted our sources close to the film's team for the official word on this rumour, and were clarified thus: "There is no truth in the rumour. None of the cast of the film has been decided except Ajith as yet. Any official word on the cast will be made post mid-December only."
Thus, it can be understood that Anushka has not been signed up for Viswasam.
The official announcement of Ajith's 58th film, with director Siva, was made this afternoon, which instantly took the social media by storm. Titled as, 'Viswasam', the film will start rolling from January 2018 and would release for Diwali 2018.
On that note, Vivegam heroine Kajal Aggarwal has wished the team on this new project. She tweeted, "This is fab!! Congratulations @directorsiva sir, Ajith sir and all at @SathyaJyothi_ you all will rock once again ! looking forward to #Viswasam"
