The Championship, which began on July 24, is scheduled to go on until Sunday, July 31. Pictures and video clips of the actor shooting at the Trichy Rifle Club have been shared widely on social media and went viral on Wednesday, July 27. Ajith regularly participates in shooting events, and last year, the actor had won six gold medals at the shooting championship which was held in Chennai. These included four gold and two silver medals. He bagged the first position in Air Pistol 10 metres (ISSF) Team, Centre Fire Pistol .32 (NR) 25 metres Team, Standard Pistol .22 (ISSF) 25 metres Team and Free Pistol.22 (NR) 50 metres Team categories.

On the work front, Ajith is currently working with H Vinoth on his upcoming film that has been tentatively titled AK61. The film's plot will revolve around a bank heist. Interestingly, the unit had erected a giant set resembling Chennai's popular landmark Mount Road in Hyderabad, where certain important scenes of the film were shot. The last schedule of the film is yet to get over. Once the film is done, Ajith is expected to move on to his next project, which is to be directed by Vignesh Shivan.
