Viswasam was officially announced in 2017. However, the film's shooting was rescheduled due to the strike in the Tamil film industry. The film finally went on floors in May this year. The film is a Pongal release and will hit the screens on January 14 next year.
Viswasam will be Ajith's fourth collaborative project with director Siva. The duo have worked together in film such as Veeram, Vedhalam and Vivegam.
