Production
The collaboration between Sathya Jyothi Films director Siva and Ajith Kumar was announced via the studio's official Twitter handle in late November 2017, after months of speculation on Ajith's next project. Nayanthara was announced as the lead actress in early February 2018.[1]
Principal photography was supposed to begin on 23 March 2018,[2] but was severely delayed due to the Tamil Film Producers Council's strike.[3] It eventually began on 7 May at Hyderabad.[4]
In June 2018, comedian Vivek was also later added to the cast to play a supporting role in the film.[5]
Release
Viswasam is scheduled to be released in January 2019 to coincide with Pongal.[6]
