Majority of Thala fans are disappointed as to why Ajith would hire director Siva for the fourth time in a row to direct Viswasam after the last Vivegam became a flop at the box office and incurred losses in crores.

An inside source confirmed that Ajith took the blame for Vivegam’s loss and added that director Siva made the movie exactly as per his instructions. He didn’t do anything on his own and if the movie failed, it was his mistake, claimed Ajith. Later, he agreed to do the 4th film for Sathyajyothi Films to compensate the loss of Rs. 30 crore and they suggested Veeram 2.

But, the producers of the first part didn’t agree to selling their title as they have met with losses with the first movie and was not ready to talk terms. In order to stop distributors from directly claiming the money from him and to help Siva come out of the fiasco, Thala Ajith agreed to act in Viswasam even though it was not done out of his full consent, confirmed the source.

Besides, he couldn’t experiment with a new director at this point and wanted to deliver a hit with Siva himself that led to this 4th time association.
