Actor Ajith Kumar has reportedly given the green light to a magnum opus narrated by an assistant director of filmmaker SS Rajamouli. The project, said to require a massive budget and planned in five languages, would be his immediate next after the upcoming Daredevil, directed by Adhik Ravichandran and produced by his wife Shalini Ajith Kumar.
According to sources, Ajith had started hearing stories for his 65th and 66th films while speculation had earlier pointed to director Siruthai Siva for the 65th film. The team is now working to secure a producer for the Rajamouli-assistant project. Shooting for Daredevil is set to begin by September. No official confirmation has been made on the magnum opus.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The buzz around an SS Rajamouli-linked project comes as Kollywood looks for its next pan-Indian star after Vijay's exit from films to full-time politics. Ajith has largely worked within Tamil cinema with directors like H Vinoth and Siruthai Siva, and has not headlined a multi-language big-budget franchise. The reported five-language plan signals an attempt at the kind of national crossover Rajamouli achieved with Baahubali and RRR. The key open question is which studio will back a film of this scale for Ajith, given his inconsistent box-office performance outside Tamil Nadu. Fans and trade will watch for an official announcement of the producer and director name.
