Ajith’s Vivegam is all set to hit screens on August 24.
Following his regular practice, director Siva unveiled the first extensive theatrical trailer for his upcoming film Vivegam, starring Thala Ajith, at midnight on Thursday. And in about 9 hours, the trailer has already crossed more than one million views on YouTube. It is one of the indications of the popularity and the expectations the film carries among the movie goers.
Editor Ruben, who seems to understand the pulse of Ajith fans, has cut an interesting trailer that shows the rise, fall and the rise of the protagonist. Ajith plays an international agent and a head of an anti-terror organisation. The film follows his missions and his struggles to defeat his enemies.
Judging by the trailer, Vivek Oberoi becomes a rogue agent and begins to hunt his former friend, Ajith. Vivek plays the main antagonist in the film, which marks his debut in Tamil. Kajal Aggarwal plays Ajith’s wife, while Akshara Haasan has made a blink-and-miss appearance in the trailer.
The trailer is dedicated to showing the attitude of Ajith’s character, which is he will move mountains or die trying. He is beaten again and again but yet he keeps bouncing back. This reminds us of Siva’s interaction with Ajith. When Siva narrated the action-packed story of Vivegam, Ajith was on crutches. In 2015, he had to undergo a knee surgery due to the injury he suffered on the sets of Vedalam. Looking at his condition, Siva had his doubts as to how can Ajith pull off this role, which required him to perform a lot of stunts. But, Ajith bounced back and even went an extra mile by building a ripped physique to everyone’s surprise for the role.
The trailer also gives a taste of cinematographer Vetri’s work. The picturesque locations and fog-filled landscapes are a treat to sore eyes. The majority of the shooting took place in European locations, and that’s the main reason why it cost more than Rs 100 crore for the producers to make this film.
Composer Anirudh Ravichander’s background score is just icing on the cake. The music album has already become a big hit.
Vivegam is the biggest film in Ajith’s career, in terms of its budget and expectations around it. The film is due in theaters on August 24.
