The past week there were unconfirmed reports doing the rounds in Kollywood that Atlee the director of Vijay`s blockbuster movie Theri` is going to helm Thala 58`.

Now further reports from the same quarters hint that Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachan is going to produce Thala 58`. It may be recalled that twenty year ago Bachan started the first corporate movie production house in India named ABCL in 1996 and one of his first films was Ullaasam` starring Ajith and Vikram in the lead roles. Unfortunately the film did was not well received by the audiences and the company too was shut down leaving the pan Indian superstar in heavy debts which he single handedly cleared by acting in films and advertisements.

Amitabh is now keen on making a comeback as a producer and is keen to make a big bang in the South with who else but Ajith, the King of the Box Office.
