Not long ago, rumours emerged that Ajith will be seen playing a car racer in his next film which will also be directed by H Vinoth. According to the industry grapevine, AK60 will have a racing backdrop and will be shot in exotic locations like South Africa, Budapest and Middle East.
It is rumoured that this film will feature SJ Suryah as the antagonist. In a recent media interaction, Suryah said he will concentrate on acting going forward after the grand reception for his latest film Monster. He also said that he will be very choosy about playing negative role as he has earned a new set of audiences with Monster.
Meanwhile, Nerkonda Paarvai, which gears up for release on August 8, marks the Tamil debut of Vidya Balan in a crucial role and also stars Shraddha Srinath, Andrea Tariang and Abhirami Venkatachalam in lead roles.
The project was materialized to honor Ajith’s promise to late Sridevi. “While working with Ajith in English Vinglish, Sridevi had expressed her desire that Ajith does a Tamil film for our home production. Nothing exciting came up till one day last year; Ajith suggested remaking Pink in Tamil. She immediately agreed as she thought it was the most appropriate and timely film to make and Ajith would bring all the elements required to make it into a great Tamil film,” Kapoor had said in a statement.
