AK64: Ajith Kumar's next movie to be officially announced in August 2025? Find out
Ajith Kumar's AK64 to be announced in August 2025?
According to a report by industry insider Ramesh Bala, Ajith Kumar's much-awaited movie, tentatively titled AK64, will be officially announced in August 2025.
Reportedly, industry sources have claimed that Ajith's movie will be bankrolled by the production house Romeo Pictures. Earlier, the production company had invested in Ajith Kumar films like Viswasam and Vivegam.
While more details about AK64 are yet to be made, rumors indicate that director Adhik Ravichandran would be helming the project, marking the superstar's second collaboration with him.
Interestingly, the actor had already confirmed that he would work in a movie only during the racing off-season, most likely in the latter half of 2025 and release in the early months of 2026.
Before Adhik, the names of various directors like Karthik Subbaraj, Prashanth Neel, Venkat Prabhu, and even Dhanush were doing the rounds to work with AK.
Talking about the actor's motorsport career, Ajith recently launched his own team, Ajith Kumar Racing. Being the team owner and racer, the crew managed to bag several accolades after their performances in Dubai and Europe.
Ajith Kumar's work front
Ajith Kumar was last seen in the action drama flick Good Bad Ugly. The movie, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, featured the tale of AK, a former crime boss popularly known as Red Dragon.
After the birth of his son, the gangster decides to atone for his crime-filled past and serves an 18-year-long sentence in jail. However, upon his release, he finds out that his son has been framed for a crime he never committed.
Now, AK must go back to his old ways to figure out who targeted his son and clear his name once and for all.
Apart from the superstar, GBU had Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Sunil, Prabhu, Prasanna, Karthikeya Dev, Priya Prakash Varrier, Jackie Shroff, Shine Tom Chacko, and many more in key roles. The movie is currently streaming on Netflix.

Coolie Worldwide Box Office Update: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's actioner storms into the Rs 400 crore global club on day 6
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, will finally be a part of the Rs 400 crore worldwide club, by the end of the day. The movie should have entered the coveted club in its extended weekend itself, but the mixed word of mouth and competition from a big film like War 2 played a spoilsport. The film dropped big on Monday and Tuesday doesn't look much promising either. Coolie Breaks Into The Rs 400 Crore Worldwide Club In Just 6 Days But well, Coolie is the second fastest Kollywood movie to enter the coveted club, only behind Leo. It is also one of the only 7 Kollywood movies to cross Rs 400 crore worldwide. The other movies part of the club are are 2.0, Leo, Jailer, PS-1, The GOAT and Vikram. Coolie Should Have Been An Industry Hit Going By The Crazy Numbers That It Opened To Coolie broke opening day and opening weekend records for a Kollywood movie at the domestic box office and worldwide box office. The film, based on the start it took, could have well been an industry hit, grossing over Rs 700 crore. However, that doesn't seem like happening now, seeing the regular drops. Coolie heads for a finish in the range of Rs 475 to 500 crore. There won't be any surprise if it ends lower, but we expect the movie to have a sort of a hold at low levels. Coolie Will Be Among The Top 5 Or Top 6 Highest Grossing Kollywood Movies Of All Time At The Worldwide Box Office Coolie is certainly an opportunity lost. However, that doesn't make it a film that can be clubbed with this year's Kollywood flops like Retro, Vidaamuyarchi and Thug Life. Coolie will most definitely end as the highest grossing Kollywood movie of 2025 at the worldwide box office. This shows the enduring appeal of Rajinikanth, and the massive frenzy that a Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial creates. Unlike Lokesh's last couple of movies however, that were industry hits at the Tamil Nadu box office, Coolie won't be one. It will end up doing just as much as what Good Bad Ugly did in the state. Good Bad Ugly did exceptionally well but Rajinikanth's market is of Rs 200 crore in the home state. Coolie In Theatres Coolie plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth crossed Rs 100 crore at the Tamil Nadu box office on its 5th day. It stands at Rs 102 crore at the end of its first Monday. Based on the terrific opening of Rs 29 crore plus, Coolie should have breached this number over its extended first weekend itself. The mixed word of mouth really took a toll on the movie. It is now the third fastest movie to enter the coveted club, behind Leo and The GOAT, both of which took just 4 days. Coolie Becomes 3rd Fastest Movie To Cross Rs 100 Crore In Tamil Nadu; Enters Coveted Rs 100 Crore TN Club In 5 Days To note, neither Leo or The GOAT had exceptional word of mouth. Thalapathy Vijay, being an actor in his prime, ensured that even with mixed talk, his film sustained. Both movies went on to gross over Rs 200 crore in Tamil Nadu, and emerge as blockbusters. Other movies in the list of fastest movies to enter the Rs 100 crore club in Tamil Nadu are Ponniyin Selvan - 1 and Jailer that took 6 days, Good Bad Ugly, Bigil and Sarkar that took 7 days and Beast and Vikram that took 8 days. Have a look at the list of Fastest movies to enter the Rs 100 crore Tamil Nadu club Rank Movie Days 1 Leo 4 2 The GOAT 4 3 Coolie 5 4 Ponniyin Selvan - 1 6 5 Jailer 6 6 Good Bad Ugly 7 7 Bigil 7 8 Sarkar 7 9 Beast 8 10 Vikram 8 Coolie's India Gross Collections After 5 Days, Stand At Rs 239 Crore Coolie's India gross collections after 5 days, stand at Rs 239 crore. Andhra states and Karnataka have put up the best performance in terms of potential realised, while Kerala's numbers are downright disappointing. Tamil Nadu's final numbers are heading towards the same underhwhelming territory, with lifetime collections expected to be under that of Good Bad Ugly. Coolie Is Set To Enter The Rs 400 Crore Worldwide Club The global collection of Coolie after 5 days, stands at Rs 391 crore. It should likely enter the Rs 400 crore club today, that is on its first Tuesday. Whether the movie can breach the Rs 500 crore club to, depends on its hold over the subsequent days. It seems dicey but you can never absolutely be sure. While the outlook around the film will be underwhelming, it is an undeniable hit. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
