So
the
'V'
sentiment
continues
and
this
time
around
it
is
Vedhalam
for
Thala
Ajith.
After
successful
ventures
like
Vaali,
Villain,
Varalaaru
and
Veeram,
it
should
not
surprise
an
Ajith
fan
when
he/she
is
told
that
their
favourite
hero's
upcoming
movie
is
titled
Vedhalam.
But
of
course,
the
surprise
factor
here
is
the
meaning
of
the
title,
for
it
is
pretty
unconventional.
'Vedhalam'
(a
ghost
that
appears
in
the
fictional
tales
of
'Vetala
Panchavimshati')
is
often
remembered
as
a
mischievous
spirit
that
loves
to
play
tricks
on
others.
So
is
Ajith's
character
designed
based
on
this
ghastly
attributes
of
'Vedhalam'?
Perhaps
he
plays
an
odious
villain,
who
is
hated
by
others,
in
the
flashback
sequences.
Having
said
that,
'Vedhalam'
can
also
be
remembered
as
an
intelligent
soul
that
fails
to
give
up,
no
matter
what.
Considering,
Ajith's
off-screen
image,
many
would
say
that
it
is
in
this
context,
Thala
56
has
been
titled
Vedhalam.
But
the
first
look
poster
indicates
that
Ajith
might
play
a
local
ruffian
in
the
movie,
which
should
eventually
turn
out
to
be
a
treat
to
movie
buffs.
After
playing
an
out
and
out
baddie
in
Mankatha
and
an
extremely
good
person
in
Veeram,
looks
like
Vedhalam
is
all
set
to
showcase
the
good
as
well
as
the
bad
side
of
Thala
Ajith.
Apart
from
the
impressive
get
up
that
includes
a
cool
stud,
an
eye-catching
chain,
bracelets
and
bands
of
silver,
the
actor's
intense
look
with
an
overlay
of
smile,
has
a
story
in
itself.
The
Outfit
A
saffron
colored
Kurta
with
shoulder
loop
indicates
that
Ajith
will
be
seen
as
a
thug,
ruling
the
streets
of
Kolkata
(Kurta
with
shoulder
loop
is
often
worn
in
Kolkata).
A
Powerful
Title
Indeed
Vedhalam
is
a
powerful
title
because
of
two
reasons.
One,
it
has
a
mystical
aura
surrounding
it
and
two,
it
can
be
categorized
into
something
that
cannot
be
destroyed.
Varam
–
a
tough
competitor?
It
was
reported
that
the
title
'Varam'
was
also
being
considered
as
many
thought
'Varam'
would
be
the
most
appropriate
title.
But
since
Vedhalam
has
some
sort
of
mystery
attached
to
it,
the
team
finally
locked
Vedhalam.
Guessing
Games
Thanks
to
a
mysterious
title,
Vedhalam
has
given
rise
to
many
guesses.
Looks
like
the
makers
wanted
to
keep
their
audience
guessing
right
from
the
word
go.
The
Release
Date
Now
the
first
look
poster
clearly
mentions
that
the
film
is
poised
for
a
Diwali
release.
If
there
are
no
last
minute
hiccups,
Vedhalam
should
hit
the
screen
this
November.
