Ajith Kumar’s upcoming project AK 64 is facing an unexpected delay, due to the ongoing salary negotiations between the actor and the producers. Despite the star’s return to Chennai and earlier indications of the start of filming, remuneration discussions have become a sticking point. Fans are eagerly waiting for an official update on the progress of the film.
Ajith Kumar returned to Chennai a few weeks ago. He was expected to begin work on his next film, titled “AK 64”. However, reports suggest that the project has not yet begun due to issues related to the actor’s salary.
This has created a new buzz in the industry, as fans are eagerly waiting for an official update on his next big film.
Ajith Salary talks have become a sticking point
According to a report by Filmibeat, the delay is linked to salary discussions between Ajith and the producers. The actor is said to be firm on his remuneration and talks are still ongoing. It was reported earlier that Ajith was offered Rs 170-180 crore as remuneration for his next film. This number is offset by two 2025 Ajith films released in the first half of the year. Director Magizh Thirumeni’s Vidaamuyarchi was released in February but did not do well at the box office. Later, Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, hit the screens on April 10 and did well commercially.
Adhik Ravichandran is likely to direct AK 64
After the success of ‘Good Bad Ugly’, it was widely reported that Adhik Ravichandran will direct Ajith’s 64th film. The project is expected to have the backing of the producer known for films like ‘Nenokkadine’ and ‘Sarileru Neekevaru’ starring
Mahesh Babu
. Although Adik had earlier hinted that the shoot would begin soon, the shoot did not officially begin, even after the end of March.
Fans await clarity on AK 64
With Ajith recently returning to Chennai, many thought that the film would start shooting immediately. However, the reported salary issue seems to have slowed things down. Fans are now expressing their concern over the lack of updates regarding the ‘AK 64’. Many are wondering when the official announcement will come and when the filming will finally begin.
