Hysteria surrounding Thala Ajith's 'Viswasam' rages on in the country

Thala Ajith's 'Viswasam' has finally hit the screens worldwide, clashing with Superstar's 'Petta'.The film that promises to be an unadulterated family entertainer has been cleared with U certificate and without any cuts. Produced by TG Thiagarajan for Sathya Jyothi Films, 'Viswasam' has Nayanthara playing the female lead. The film has an ensemble star-cast of Ajith Kumar, Nayanthara, Vivek, Thambi Ramaiah, Ramesh Thilak, Yogi Babu, Anaikha, Kovai Sarala, Robo Shankar and Jagapati Babu among others.
The film, that is said to be one of the highly anticipated films of the year, had fans going the extra mile to make sure the release was nothing short of a grand affair. Earlier we saw a 175-foot cut-out erected for Ilayathalapathy Vijay in Kerela. We know Thala fans are competitive and full of energy and it's no surprise that some other fans erected a 190-foot cut-out for Thala. It is reported that this is the biggest cut-out for any actor ever made.

They didn't stop with just that they took their boats and tied a cut out in the middle of the sea, just to show their support for Thala.

Some others made a huge LED banner and also another one with lights.


While the 'Viswasam' fever grips the nation, the Thala Ajith's fans have proved to be the real show stealers in here. Many came together to celebrate the stars' return after a year and a half of absence and didn't hold back on the festivities.

Fans resort to illegal means to get tickets
Due to the unavailability of tickets, a group of people resorted to illegal means to enter theatres. Reportedly, a few took coloured xerox of the ticket to enter theatres. The management was only alerted when the crowd inside the theatre hall was more than the ticket headcount.
Two stabbed
Another incident inKalinjur of Katpadi taluk was when Prasanth and his uncle Ramesh, had gone to the Alankar Theatre in Vellore on Thursday to watch a special show at 3.00 am. Fans were allowed to enter the theatre from 1.00 am onwards, but because of the huge crowd inside the theatre, there was reportedly a fight over seats being held for others.
