Ajith Kumar is playing a grey shaded role after a long time in 'Thunivu', directed by H Vinoth. The most-awaited action entertainer is set to hit the screens worldwide on January 11. The bank heist thriller is clashing with Thalapathy Vijay's family entertainer, 'Varisu'.

Meanwhile, the official announcement regarding Ajith's next film with director Vignesh Shivan was made last year. Funded by Lyca Productions, this project will mark the reunion of AK and Rockstar Anirudh after Vedalam and Vivegam. Now, we have some hot updates on this upcoming movie, which is tentatively called 'AK62'.

According to sources, the veteran actor Arvind Swamy is said to be playing the antagonist role in AK62 and comedian turned hero Santhanam will be seen as an important character. Reportedly, the shooting will commence from January 17. Parallelly, a social media buzz states that Kajal Aggarwal is in talks to play the female lead role and Ajith will portray a don role in the film.
