It's Official! Adhik Ravichandran To Direct Ajith Kumar's AK64, Calls It ‘A Treat for Fans'
Filmmaker Adhik Ravichandran has officially confirmed that he will be reuniting with Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar for their next project, tentatively titled AK64. The announcement comes on the heels of Ravichandran's recent success with the high-budget action-comedy Good Bad Ugly, which performed strongly at the box office earlier this year. While speaking to the media during a recent interaction, Adhik confirmed the much-anticipated collaboration. '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," he shared. Ajith had earlier confirmed that he will kick off shooting in November 2025, aiming for a release around April or May 2026. In a chat with Indian Express, Ajith revealed how he's juggling his two big passions, acting and racing. He explained, 'Our racing season in Europe starts in March and ends in October, but for that one-off race that happens in Dubai in January. 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." What's really cool is Ajith's plan to keep up this balance long term. The superstar wants to keep releasing one film a year while staying dedicated to his racing career, as both a team owner and driver. Ajith Kumar has also previously expressed interest in starring in a racing-themed film. In an earlier interview, when asked about international action franchises, he had said, 'I guess maybe Fast and Furious sequel… or F1 sequel… I normally perform my own stunts in the film… so if there's a calling, why not?" When the interviewer suggested the title RedAnt Racing for an Indian version, Ajith responded with his signature humour: 'We can call it RedAnt Ajith Racing as well." Meanwhile, Adhik's last directorial, Good Bad Ugly, was made on a grand budget of Rs 300 crore and went on to gross approximately Rs 212 crore. The 2025 release marked the Tamil debut of Mythri Movie Makers and featured a star-studded ensemble including Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Sunil, Prabhu, Prasanna, Priya Prakash Varrier, Jackie Shroff, Shine Tom Chacko, Tinnu Anand, B.S. Avinash, and Raghu Ram. The story revolved around a retired gangster forced back into action after his son is wrongly implicated in a crime.

Ajith Kumar was recently seen gearing up for his next racing match, with a reporter interacting with him before the game. As both of them were talking, the Tamil superstar was asked about the chances of a film being made in India based on racing. Does Ajith Kumar wish to be part of racing movies? As per a post shared by Laxmi Kanth on X, the actor said, '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.' With the superstar becoming more involved with his motorsport career, setting up his own team, and undergoing intense weight loss, it would be interesting to see how the actor manages to feature in a movie of such a genre. Ajith Kumar's next movie While Ajith Kumar is involved in his racing season currently, the actor is expected to announce AK64 soon. As per insider reports, the actor's next film will likely 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 will 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. Coming to Ajith Kumar's work front, the superstar was last seen in a lead role in the movie Good Bad Ugly. The film 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.
