Ajith is keen on releasing his Ji for Pongal. The movie starring Trisha opposite him is directed by Lingusamy and produced by NIC Arts Chakravarthy. A few scenes involving Trisha needs to be completed. Unfortunately,she is now busy with her Telugu assignments. The production is worried whether Trisha would fly down to Chennai to complete the shots.

However, a confident Ajith said all troubles would be sorted out and the movie would certainly be released on Pongal.

Meanwhile, Ajith has his fans' clubs (recently converted into welfare associations) tied up with the civic agency Exnora to help in greening the State. To start with, Ajith's team will help plant some 100 saplings in the Thiruvanmiyur area of Chennai.

Ajith has also vowed to take the message of maintaining the ecological balance and the importance of planting trees to the public.

So it all a gimmick? A publicity stunt that Ajith seems to revel in? "No", Ajith retorts emphatically. What's wrong with my message, he asks in an injured point.

He sure has a case.
