Lokesh Kanagaraj is presently engrossed in his acting debut under Arun Matheswaran’s direction, while simultaneously gearing up for the pre‑production of Kaithi 2. Meanwhile, Ajith Kumar, after a brief hiatus post Good Bad Ugly, has signed his next project with Adhik Ravichandran (AK64) and is also rumored to join forces with Lokesh for a massive venture tentatively titled AK65. Industry whispers suggest that the duo is in talks, and if confirmed, this pairing could become one of Tamil cinema’s most electrifying collaborations.
Ajith Kumar is currently balancing his racing commitments, participating in international tournaments, and has announced that AK64 will roll out soon. Sources close to the team reveal that Lokesh Kanagaraj is already working on a high‑octane script fitting Ajith’s larger than life persona. The film is expected to be produced on a grand scale with top tier technicians and a strong supporting cast, aiming for a pan‑India release. Fans are buzzing with excitement, hoping the project will materialize in the near future.
According to latest reports, AK65 is slated for a 2027 theatrical release, though no official confirmation has been given by either Ajith or Lokesh. The director had earlier expressed his desire to work with Ajith, stating, “It will happen soon,” during a media interaction. Ajith himself mentioned that filming for his next movie will commence after the current racing season and an official announcement is expected in January 2026.
Good Bad Ugly, the recent action comedy starring Ajith, showcased his versatility as Red Dragon and became a hit, currently streaming on Netflix. The film featured Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Prasanna, and a host of others, proving Ajith’s ability to carry diverse genres. With Lokesh Kanagaraj’s signature storytelling style, AK65 promises to elevate Ajith’s career to new heights, targeting a ₹500 crore gross at the box office.
The buzz around Lokesh Kanagaraj and Ajith Kumar’s collaboration is growing stronger, fueled by industry chatter and mutual admiration. While AK64 progresses with Adhik Ravichandran, AK65 could mark the beginning of a groundbreaking partnership that blends Lokesh’s cinematic universe with Ajith’s mass appeal, setting the stage for a landmark release in 2027.
