A few days ago we told you that Thala is all set to workout for his new look and in this very short span he has shed a lot more than 'a few pounds'. 

Ajith Kumar will dawn a lean look for his upcoming venture with Vishnuvardhan. The duo worked together earlier in 'Billa'. 

The director wrote on his microblogging page, "Thala gyming- day15. To all well wishers. Will keep u updated with pictures every 15 days. Have a blast."

Word on the street was that Vishnuvardhan will be doing the remake of Hindi blockbuster 'Race' in which Ajith Kumar plays the role played by Saif Ali Khan in the original, but he refuted saying it was a rumour.

"Guys I really wonder why people think I am doing ‘race’. Am really not on a race or doing Race. Now let me run!!" wrote Vishnu on his microblogging page.
