Following the commercial success of Good Bad Ugly (GBU), actor Ajith Kumar took a brief break and has now returned to business. He is starring as the lead in the film Daredevil directed by Adhik Ravichandran and the shooting of this film is scheduled to begin soon.
Since its announcement, Daredevil has generated huge expectations among audiences, as the previous film from the Ajith Kumar and Adhik Ravichandran duo, GBU, was a major blockbuster.
In this scenario, now there is strong speculation that the makers of this film are planning to onboard Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Telugu star Venkatesh to play crucial roles. If these rumors prove true, Daredevil will be mounted as a massive pan-Indian film.
However, these recent speculations are triggering mixed responses from audiences. While some feel that if this happens, Daredevil will emerge as Kollywood’s most anticipated film and elevate Ajith Kumar to the next level, others are reacting negatively.
They claim that Adhik Ravichandran has still not become a responsible director and that even his last film, GBU was not a proper commercial movie, but rather a fan-service mashup. Therefore, they suggest that when casting such massive superstars from different industries, the director must give them solid characters; otherwise, the actors’ fans will be severely disappointed and trash the director.
They feel that if the roles planned for Mohanlal and Venkatesh are solid and offer substantial scope in the script, Adhik Ravichandran should cast them. Otherwise, the director should not take such a huge risk and disappoint the audience.
Ultimately, with the mixed reactions to these speculations, it remains to be seen whether Mohanlal and Venkatesh will appear in crucial roles in Ajith Kumar’s Daredevil and if they do, how the project will take shape.
