The fans of Ajith will be happy to know that the actor's biggest hit, "Vedalam," is ready for its first satellite telecast. The blockbuster Tamil film of 2015 will be aired on Jaya TV soon.

Jaya TV, which acquired the satellite rights of "Vedalam" for a good price, will air the movie on Sept. 5 on the occasion of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. The channel is expected to show the film in the evening.

"Vedalam" starred Shruthi Haasan as the female lead while Lakshmi Menon played Ajith's sister in the movie, which also featured Soori, Thambi Ramaiah, Ashwin, Rahul Dev, Avinash, Rajendran and others in the cast.

The film was written and directed by Siruthai Siva, and bankrolled by AM Rathnam. The movie had impressed youngsters as well as the family audience, which played a major role in its success at the box office.
