Ajith, who chose to keep a low profile following reports of a group of henchmen threatening him for pulling out of Bala's Naan Kadavul, has urged Vishnu Vardhan to direct his forthcoming venture.

Interestingly Vishnu Vardhan, who is on a high after the back-to-back success in Arindhum Ariyamalum and Pattiyal, was supposed to do a film for Bala's home production (B Studios).

But Ajith has convinced him to take up his movie, which would be produced by Mohan Natarajan.

Sources say Vishnu Vardhan has now pulled out of Bala's venture and has begun penning script for Ajith's venture.

With reports of altercation between Ajith and Bala doing rounds, Ajith's move to rope in Vishnu Vardhan for his next venture has created surprise in Kollywood circles.

When several artistes urged Ajith to come out in open against Bala, he declined all their requests and chose to remain silent.

But now he has made his move.
