Thala Ajith’s ‘V’ connection continues with Veeram

Thala Ajith was Vinayak in Mankatha and he will be Vinayakam, yet again, in his next release Veeram. "The name of the character (Vinayakam) was part of the original script itself and we stuck to it," said director 'Siruthai' Siva, at a press meet recently, "When I went to Ajith sir's house to narrate the entire story, he was in a rugged look and we decided to have the same tone for the film too. It was a different experience for Ajith as he is doing a rural film after a while."

The letter 'V' has always been lucky for the star. While Veeram starts with the letter, the name of Ajith's character in the film starts with the same alphabet as well. His previous hits in Kollywood — Vaali, Varalaaru and Villain - all start with the same alphabet too.
