Ajith Kumar’s next film, Dare Devil, went on floors on Monday, 2 November, with actor Parthiban marking the day by posting a picture of himself on his way to the set and expressing his happiness at sharing screen space with Ajith again.
According to IANS, reporting on 2 November, Parthiban wrote on X: “Today is the day of Dare Devil. Amazing Kushi to share the screen with the great AK. And to work with the director Mr Aadik Ravichandran.”
A reunion after 27 years
Parthiban had previously worked with Ajith in the Tamil film Nee Varuvai Ena almost 27 years ago, IANS noted. His return to an Ajith set, in a pivotal role, is therefore a reunion as much as a casting announcement.
Director Adhik Ravichandran had earlier shared a new poster for the film, confirming that Ajith would play the character of Dare Devil, and describing the project as rolling from 2 November.
The team around Ajith
Dare Devil marks Adhik Ravichandran’s second consecutive collaboration with Ajith after last year’s blockbuster Good Bad Ugly. The film is produced by Ajith’s wife, Shalini Ajith Kumar, under Bravehearts Production, making her debut as a producer.
Music is by Anirudh Ravichander, reuniting him with Ajith after Vidaamuyarchi, with cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam, editing by Vijay Velukutty and stunts by Supreme Sundar, according to Cinema Express.
What is still unconfirmed
The cast confirmed so far includes Sreeleela, Prabhu, Sunil and Parthiban, according to Cinema Express and Zoom TV. Reports about other names, including Malayalam actors, remain speculation, and the makers have not officially confirmed every reported casting development.
Shooting is planned in Hyderabad, with later schedules in Malaysia and Bangkok, and the film is expected to present Ajith in a genre very different from Good Bad Ugly — a deliberate contrast, according to Adhik.
