Ajith, whose career is on a new high with the success of Varalaru, will commence shooting for Kireedom early next week.

With Aalwar completed and ready to hit screens this Pongal, Ajith has decided to begin Kireedom for producer Suresh Balaji. The movie is reportedly inspired by the Malayalam hit Kireedom which starred Mohanlal and Nedumudi Venu.

The movie features Trisha opposite Ajith with Na Muthukumar penning the lyrics and G V Prakash scoring the music.

Recently a song sung by comedian Santhanam was recorded by Prakash, while Ajith had also rendered a couple of lines in between.

On completing Kireedom, Ajith will commence shooting for the remake of yesteryear Rajini classic Billa to be produced by Suresh and directed by Vishnuvardhan.

Kireedom, the title, has also been cleared as being in chaste Tamil.
