After months of speculation, it’s now confirmed that Ajith Kumar’s next film will be helmed by Magizh Thirumeni. Bankrolled by Lyca Productions, the office pooja for the film, tentatively titled AK 62, was conducted on Monday, earlier this week.

A source close to the film unit has also confirmed that music director Anirudh and cinematographer Nirav Shah have been roped in for AK 62. While this will mark Anirudh’s third collaboration with Ajith after Vedalam and Vivegam, Nirav has earlier worked with the actor in films like Billa, Nerkonda Paarvai, Valimai and Thunivu.

While there were speculations about Arun Vijay and Arulnithi starring in AK 62, it’s now confirmed that they are mere rumours. The source also added that the film is currently in the scripting stage and only after locking the script, the team would scout for talents. The film’s official announcement will be made on the first or second week of March.
