In his words, 'Yes I'm doing the next film with Ajith Kumar sir. I'm very happy that I got an opportunity for AK64. It will be a different kind of film from Good Bad Ugly & will be a treat for fans.'
Ajith Kumar spilled beans on starting his next project
After two back-to-back hits with Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly and a series of achievements on the racing front, all eyes are on Ajith Kumar's next film.
In a previous interview with the Indian Express, the actor confirmed that his next project is on the cards and even mentioned when he would begin shooting for the same.
He said, 'If I can squeeze in a film between the November to February period, I will then have a film release every year, and I can also focus on my racing program. I will be starting to film a new project in November this year, which will hopefully be released sometime around April or May 2026.'
When Ajith Kumar talked about making a race movie in India
With the love for the racing film F1 pouring in from fans recently, Ajith Kumar had spoken about the possibility of such a kind of film being made in India.
Moreover, he further added if he, as an actor-racer, would wish to be a part of it or even headline it as the lead actor.
As per a post by industry insider Laxmi Kanth on X, the actor reflected, 'I guess maybe a Fast and Furious film or an F1. I normally perform my own stunts in a film, so yeah, maybe a Fast and Furious sequel… or the sequel on F1.'
