There is a buzz doing rounds in Kollywood that the Jazz Cinemas have acquired the theatrical release rights of Thala Ajith's 57th film directed by Siva, by paying a whopping price.

The film temporarily titled as 'AK 57' is being produced on a grand scale by the prestigious Sathya Jyothi Films banner. The film touted to be an international espionage thriller has been shot extensively in Bulgaria and its neighboring locations in Europe. Reportedly the team has completed 85% of the shoot before returning to Chennai on a break for Christmas and New Year.

The film being taken over by Jazz Cinemas for distribution will ensure a grand release on a never before seen scale. The makers are planning to release the film on April 14, 2017.

It is worth noting that the same Jazz Cinemas had acquired the Tamil Nadu theatrical release rights of the super hit 'Vedalam' which was Ajith's previous film released for Diwali 2015.
