The barrage of negative reviews notwithstanding, it is Thala`s mass power that is behind Vivegam` still making huge monies all over the world. It is reported that director Siva a little crestfallen by the criticisms went to Thala Ajith`s house for a visit and received the warm welcome.

The gentleman that he is, Thala put Siva at ease and has also reportedly told him not to mind the negative reactions as they were directed towards him rather than the director. The king of opening has also said to have reassured Siva that they will indeed be combining for the fourth time and has asked him to concentrate on scripting. Obviously pleased Siva has stated in a recent interview that his next with Ajith will be of a completely different genre.
