After the 100 crore blockbuster ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, Ajith’s next movie with the working tag ‘Thala 56’ commenced in Chennai earlier this month with director Siva canning scenes involving the Thala and Lakshmi Menon, who plays his sister in the film.

According to a latest update, the team has wrapped up the first schedule early this morning. The shooting of Thala 56, as the film is tentatively referred to as, has been in progress at the Binny Mills where sets were erected for the purpose.

We hear that the second schedule will commence during the first week of June and the team is preparing for it.

Ajith, as per some sources, will play the role of a taxi driver whose life revolves around his sister, played by Lakshmi Menon.

The shooting of the movie had kick-started on 7 May and the makers of the film are planning to release the movie for Diwali. The film is expected to be a yet another mass entertainer as the makers have roped in Stunt Silva to choreograph stunts. The film also has Soori and Kabir Singh in the supporting cast.

The music of the upcoming movie is done by Anirudh Ravichander and is produced by AM Rathnam, who had recently produced Ajith’s “Yennai Arindhaal”.
