As we all know Ajith Kumar`s upcoming film that is being referred to as Thala 56` is progressing at a brisk pace under the effective stewardship of the film`s director Siva.

The film is being produced by A.M.Ratnam who produced the star`s recent super hit films, Arrambam` and Yennai Arindhaal`. Ratnam has confirmed in his interview to a private FM channel that 30% of the shooting of Thala 56` have been completed. In that interview the producer has also claimed that the scenes that have been canned so far include some important sibling sentiment scenes between Ajith and Lakshmi Menon who plays the role of his younger sister.

While Siva showcased affection between brothers in Veeram`, his earlier super hit film with Ajith, in this film the director seems to have taken up the tried and tested brother-sister sentiment in this film.

However, we can expect the film to be a complete family entertainer with ample scope for action, romance and comedy apart from sentiment as it has been the case in the films directed by Siva. Soori has replaced Santhanam who lead the comedy department in Siva`s earlier films. Interestingly, this is the first film in which Soori will be sharing screen space with Ajith.

Sruthi Haasan is the heroine of this flick while Anirudh scores the music.
