It is now quite certain that director Siva will team up for the third time with Thala Ajith to direct the star's 57th film which is expected to go on floors in June.

Siva's first film with Ajith was 'Veeram' that released in January 2014. In that film the filmmaker gave a complete makeover for Ajith as a village man wearing a white shirt and veshti throughout the film. In a number of films preceding 'Veeram', Thala was sporting hi-fi urban costumes and coolers.

In last year's blockbuster 'Vedalam' also Ajith was posing as a lower middle class taxi driver and a local don which was completely different from his previous films.

However in 'Thala 57' it will be Siva's turn to showcase Ajith's uber cool style in urbane outfits. As the story of the film reportedly takes place in foreign countries Thala Ajith is expected to roll back to his 'Billa 2', 'Arrambam' kind of looks in this film.

'Thala 57' will be produced by Sathya Jyothi Films and musical score is likely to be rendered by Anirudh Ravichander. The official announcement on the project, cast and crew is expected in the second week of April 2016.
