By: Tupaki Desk | 10 Feb 2026 11:53 PM ISTIt is an established fact that South Indian superstars are some of the biggest phenomenons in Indian cinema. On that note, we Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar, who is a very big deal in the Tamil market.
Fresh buzz from the film industry suggests that actor Ajith Kumar may soon collaborate with director Adhik Ravichandran and producer Anil Sunkara for an ambitious new project.
The potential combination has already generated significant excitement, as Ajith continues to remain one of the most bankable stars in South Indian cinema, known for commanding massive openings and loyal fan support across markets.
However, the project is currently said to be on hold due to ongoing discussions over the actor’s remuneration. According to industry talk, Ajith has reportedly quoted a fee of around ₹165 crores to come on board, a figure that has sparked intense debate within trade circles. If finalized, it would place him among the highest paid actors in Indian cinema.
Producers are believed to be carefully evaluating the financial structure of the film before making a final decision, as such a large remuneration significantly impacts the overall budget and recovery strategy. While negotiations are expected to continue, neither the actor nor the makers have officially confirmed the development.
Despite the temporary delay, insiders remain optimistic that the issues will be resolved, as the combination carries strong commercial potential. Fans are now eagerly waiting for clarity, hoping the film moves forward and brings this powerful trio together on the big screen.
