It will be some time before we see Thala on screen again. After Vivegam, the actor is taking a short break.

Ajith
Kumar's
Vivegam
much-anticipated
movie,
hit
the
screens
last
month
and
was
a
constant
feed
for
news
for
all
possible
reasons.
The
movie
was
in
the
making
for
over
one
and
a
half
years
and
hit
screens
on
Aug
24.
The
teaser
and
trailer
of
the
movie
had
generated
umpteen
amount
of
curiosity
and
had
dented
all
the
previous
YouTube
records.
Needless
to
say,
the
hype
too
was
surrounded
in
a
similar
manner,
thanks
to
the
rich
production
values
and
Thala's
screen
presence.
Ajith's
dedication
and
hard
work
could
be
seen
on
screen
with
the
actor
involving
himself
in
almost
all
action
sequences.
This
resulted
in
a
shoulder
injury
for
the
Kadhal
Mannan
actor
and
had
to
face
a
temporary
setback.
It
is
now
learned
that
Ajith
has
undergone
a
successful
2-hour-long
surgery
at
the
Kumaran
hospital
and
is
now
advised
to
take
a
3
months
rest.
This
eventually
means
that
the
stylish
icon
will
be
put
out
of
action
for
a
quarter
and
hence
his
plans
of
initiating
a
movie
will
take
some
time.
Fans
and
well-wishers
of
the
46-year-old
actor
would
not
mind
this
sabbatical
phase
as
they
wish
their
icon
to
be
hale
and
healthy
which
is
seen
as
the
utmost
priority.
As
he
mouthed
a
certain
punchline
in
the
movie,
"Never
Ever
Give
Up",
Thala
is
seen
practicing
what
he
preaches
as
he
rises
to
every
occasion
like
a
phoenix
as
and
when
he
goes
down.
Vivegam
had
made
a
colossal
pre-release
business
of
around
119
Cr
which
was
touted
to
be
the
biggest
of
its
contemporaries
and
also
had
set
up
a
non-Rajini
&
non-Shankar
record.
Though
the
opening
of
the
movie
was
gigantic
with
records
being
set
at
Chennai
Box
Office,
the
movie
failed
to
keep
the
momentum
up
and
going
and
now
seems
to
be
an
average
grosser.
If
sources
are
to
be
believed,
Ajith
would
once
again
be
teaming
up
with
Siruthai
Siva
for
the
fourth
consecutive
time.
This
news,
though
would
excite
the
hard-core
followers
of
the
Ultimate
Star,
might
come
as
a
hard
lump
of
butter
for
few
fans
as
the
latter
had
expressed
their
concern
of
repeating
Siva
as
the
director.
It
would
also
be
interesting
to
see
if
Siva
would
continue
the
V
sentiment
in
the
title
after
Veeram,
Vedhalam,
and
Vivegam.
However,
we
just
wish
Thala
Ajith
a
speedy
recovery.
