This breaking news is sure to send Thala fans in a frenzy as sources reveal that Thala`s next is going to be helmed by one of the leading Directors of South India who gave Illaya Thalapathi Vijay two super hits showcasing him in different avatars.

The director in question is none other than Siddique the director of 'Friends' starring Vijay and Surya and 'Kavalan' starring Vijay. Siddiques` films have a clear story line, laden with comedy, but always leading to a sentimental climax which makes the audience come back for more.

For Thala this would be a refreshing outing from his usual action films and it is believed that as soon as he finishes Siruthai Siva project and Siddique completes his Mamooty starrer Baskar the Rascal`, the two will come together to create a different kind of magic and of course box office history!.
