2013 is going to be an unusual year for Thala Ajith, with two releases lined up this year for the actor, who usually has only one release a year.

The last schedule of director Vishnuvardhan's tentatively titled Valai, featuring Ajith, Arya, Nayanthara and Taapsee in the lead roles, is being shot in Mumbai and the film is expected to release in July.

Soon after wrapping up Valai, Thala will start working on Siruthai Siva's untitled film, which will have Tamannaah playing the female lead. The film, which will see Ajith in a completely new character, is aimed for a Diwali release.

If everything works as planned, both the films will hit screens this year, making it two releases for Ajith in 2013! We are sure it will be a treat for all the Thala fans!
