Ajith's much-awaited 'Asal', produced by Sivaji Films and directed by Saran, is confirmed for release on February 5.

The producers are planning for a big release across Tamil Nadu and parts of overseas, where Tamil films have a huge fan-following. Initially 'Asal' was expected to hit the screens on January 26, but has been pushed back by a week.

Besides Ajith, the film features Sameera Reddy, Bhavana and yesteryear hero Suresh in the cast. Music is by Bharadwaj. According to Ajith, "Normally I prefer to let the film speak for itself. Yet I have to tell you that every aspect including the stunts and chases in 'Asal' exemplifies the title. Everything is original and genuine."

He adds: "Sivaji Films is one of the best companies I've worked for. I think it's because they belong to a family of actors." Expressing his gratitude to Sivaji Films for the freedom given to him to bring out a quality product, Saran says, "They never bothered about the budget. All they wanted was a slick entertainer. The entire team of 'Asal' has worked very hard."
