Ajith Kumar has done it again, getting the internet talking with his dramatic new look, fueling strong rummors that it’s for director Adhik Ravichandran’s AK 64, his next proposed movie. Although no official announcement has been forthcoming about the movie, Ajith’s latest Instagram clip where he emerges from a vanity van and talks to crew members has sparked buzz among fans. The new look immediately went viral as social media users associated it with Ravichandran’s next movie.

Though Ajith hasn’t made the official announcement about his next movie, there has been increasing speculation regarding collaborations with a number of directors, such as Adhik Ravichandran, Venkat Prabhu, and even actor-director Dhanush. In an interview with The Indian Express recently, Ajith gave an insight into his hectic schedule and how he still manages to balance his dual passions cinema and racing.

“Our European racing season begins in March and goes on until October, other than a one-off event in Dubai during January,” Ajith revealed. “If I am able to fit in a film between February and November, then I would be able to have a film release every year while still keeping up with my racing commitments.” He confirmed that the schedule to start filming a new project would begin in November 2025 with a possible theatrical release in April or May 2026.
