Thala has underwent a knee surgery on November 12 at Chennai in a private hospital. The surgery has to be performed previously when he got it hurt during the shooting of the climax scene in Vedhalam.
But it had been postponed till the release of the movie and was scheduled actually on Nov 24. Due to the unbearable pain and the risk of complexity, there has been preponement to 12th. Dr. David Rajan of Kumaran hospital at Chennai had performed it around 7:30 P.M. that went till 2:30 A.M. in the early morning of next day.
Fortunately, Ajith seems to be good at the ICU and thereafter in the following days. The doctor had asked him to take complete rest for 3 months till he is recovered. So the start of Thala 57 by the June of next year is likely to be rescheduled further.
