Ajit Kumar is currently focusing on his racing career, participating in international tournaments. While the superstar has already announced that AK64 will go on floors soon, reports suggest that he may also join hands with Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj for the upcoming film.
Ajit Kumar and Lokesh Kanagaraj collaboration on cards?
According to a report in Let’s Cinema, Ajith Kumar is expected to star in the film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The anticipated project, tentatively titled AK65, is reportedly scheduled for theatrical release in 2027.
However, this is unconfirmed as no official announcement has been made by the actor or director. Interestingly, Lokesh had earlier expressed his desire to work with the Vidamuyarchi actor in the future.
Ajith Kumar recently said that he will start shooting for his next film only after completing his current racing season. The actor-racer also revealed that his next venture will be officially announced in January 2026.
Expressing his desire to strike a balance between his passion for filmmaking and racing, Ajith said that he may start shooting for AK64 in a few months.
Earlier, director Adhik Ravichandran had confirmed that he will be directing AK64, reuniting with Ajith after Good Bad Ugly (2025). The upcoming project is said to be an action-packed entertainer that is quite different from their previous collaborations and is designed to attract a wide range of audiences.
