Ajith Kumar has not officially announced his next film after the success of Good Bad Ugly. Director Adhik Ravichandran earlier said he would team up with Ajith for a commercial entertainer, but no production house has confirmed the project so far, raising doubts about its status.
Strong speculation now suggests that Ajith is asking for a 150 crore salary for this film. Because of this, major production houses are reportedly unwilling to back the project. Many believe the film is on hold only due to this remuneration issue, and an announcement may come once it is resolved.
Trade circles say Ajith’s market is mainly within Tamil Nadu and that except for Good Bad Ugly, he has not delivered big blockbusters in recent years. They argue that the salary demand is high, and if a producer pays him 150 crore, the total budget may reach 300 crore. Since Good Bad Ugly collected around 247 crore worldwide, they feel the financial risk is too large.
Some believe Ajith may remain without a new project if he sticks to this demand, as producers may not step forward. Others think this entire discussion could be social media speculation created to damage his image. The industry now waits to see when the official announcement will arrive and how the project will take shape.
