A landmark film
An international feel... thats what the makers of Ajiths next are striving for
BHAMA DEVI RAVI Times News Network
Three of Kollywoods happening men met on Sunday in a hush hush locale.Gautham Menon,whose VTV opened to rave reviews,Dayanidhi Alagiri,whose Tamizh Padam is turning into a sleeper hit,and actor Ajith,who is hitting the gym in a big way,met to discuss Ajiths 50th film.Dayanidhi Alagiri and Vivek Rathinavel,the producers of Ajiths 50th film and its director Gautham,want the film to be a milestone.We want it to have an international feel and appeal to all strata of society.Most of the shooting will take place abroad.Landmark films like this do not happen very often.And,it will be unlike Billa or Aasal, said a source.
A R Rahman,whose tunes in VTV are a huge hit,has been confirmed as the music director.Shooting will commence on October 1. Ajith,who has hit the gym to get into shape for the F2 European challenge,will be away from Chennai from March,and is reportedly excited about the forthcoming motor event which will go on till October.The actor,we hear,wants to be an ambassador for the sport in India.Meanwhile,the producers and the director are working on other logistics,including finalising the heroine.
Ajith,who had been caught in a controversy over his remark that stars were being forced to take part in sensitive social and political issues,has reportedly put the issue behind him.He is now focussed on shedding close to 20 kg,and is also firming up his neck muscles to withstand the strain of taking part in the F2 European Challenge.Ajith,who walked away from the motor sport six years ago due to injuries,now wants to make a comeback and straddle both motorsport and cinema.
Gautham is known to ensure that every actor looks the part,and Ajith wants to deliver a hit.Rahman,we hear,is excited about the project,and one can look forward to a film in which the music (the lyrics of which will be penned by Thamarai) will also be a hallmark.Gautham,who is likely to finalise the heroine by Wednesday,is apparently looking for someone who will look classy and yet strike a chord,as Sameera Reddy did in Vaaranam Aayiram,and Jyotika and Kamalinee Mukherji in Vettaiyadu Vilayadu.
