Times of India: The Final Combo


It is almost confirmed that Gautham Menon will be directing Ultimate Star Ajith in his 50th film, that will be produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri. It clearly means that Vishnuvardhan and Venkat Prabhu — who were in the race to direct the star — have lost out.

Gautham was supposed to have collaborated with producers Prabhu and Ramkumar for his film with Ajith. But, the project fell through due to difference of opinion between the director and the hero. Now, insiders claim that what clinched the deal for Gautham is his association wih producer Alagiri, with whom he shares a good rapport after their last hit together, Vaaranam Aayiram.

Though AR Rahman’s name is being tossed around as the music director, his international commitments have made him too busy. Tamannaah is the front runner to be Ajith’s heroine in the film, which will start rolling after Ajith’s Asal releases in February. The buzz is that the film will be an edge-of-the-seat-thriller, with all essential commercial ingredients.
