Will it be third time lucky for Thala Ajith and Shankar?

After the positive reception to his Pongal release Veeram from all corners, Ajith is set to begin work on his next film, to be directed by Gautham Menon and produced by A.M.Ratnam. Anushka is playing the female lead role and Gautham has updated that more details and announcements about this film will be made within a week. 

 

With this much expected project on the one hand, there is already a big buzz about Ajith's moves after this Gautham project. While talks about a film with K.V.Anand and to be produced by AGS Entertainment, were doing the rounds a few weeks back, now it is none other than blockbuster director Shankar who is widely being touted as Ajith's next director.

 

When we investigated with our sources, we also came to know that Aascar Films might be bankrolling this venture. If all things fall in place, this film is reported to kick off towards the end of December, by which time Ajith is expected to complete his commitments for the Gautham film.

 

An official announcement on this Ajith - Shankar film in all probability is to be expected after the Ajith - Gautham film is past the halfway mark and once Shankar is done with Ai. It must be noted that Ajith and Shankar were in talks for some of the director's films in the past such as Jeans and more recently Robot, but things didn't work out. Will it be third time lucky for this popular duo? We have to wait and watch.
