Speculation around AK64 has intensified on social media in recent days. This comes amid reports linking Ajith Kumar’s remuneration to a massive 185 crore figure.
Following the blockbuster success of Good Bad Ugly (GBU), Ajith Kumar has not officially announced his next project. However, director Adhik Ravichandran earlier confirmed that he would collaborate with the actor once again.
Although the director for Ajith Kumar’s 64th film has been locked, there has been no official announcement from any production house. Fans continue to wait eagerly for updates related to AK64.
Amid this silence, reports suggest that Pen Media, which was expected to produce the film, has stepped away. The reason being circulated is Ajith Kumar’s alleged demand of 185 crore as remuneration.
There is also discussion around the business performance of GBU. Despite being labelled a blockbuster, the film reportedly collected around 250 crores worldwide.
According to this speculation, producing a film with a 185 crore salary for the lead actor could push the total business beyond 240 crores. This may leave little to no profit for the producers, leading to hesitation.
Some social media users reacted strongly to these claims. They argued that while Ajith Kumar is a major star in Tamil Nadu, his market outside the state is limited.
These users believe that demanding such a high remuneration may affect the actor’s future prospects. They claim producers may avoid backing his films if the salary demand remains unchanged.
On the other hand, Ajith Kumar’s fans have dismissed the reports as baseless rumours. They believe the speculation is being spread by haters to damage the actor’s image.
Fans have also pointed out that Adhik Ravichandran recently stated the film would go on floors by the end of February. They have urged people not to believe unverified claims.
As of now, there is no official update regarding AK64. It remains to be seen whether the project will begin shooting soon and how it will shape up in the coming months.
