Ajith on his pilgrimage Tour

Ajith seems to have acquired certain traits of religious beliefs from Rajinikanth. It was during the pre-release of Billa that Rajnikanth offered him dinner and gifted a novel called 'Living Masters of Himalayas'. And then started Ajith's new venture on religious aspects as he started making regular visits to all the temples. Recently after completing his 'Aegan', he had visited Shitty Saibaba temple and returned Chennai for dubbing.

Yesterday, he made his way to Sottanikarai Bhagavathy Amman Temple. Very shortly, he has planned to travel across Tirupathi, Kollur Thai Mugambigai and other temples.

Aegan dubbing work completed

Ultimate Star has turned more spiritual now these days that he visited and offered prayers at Shirdi Sai Baba temple last week and Chottranikarai Bhagavathy Amman temple yesterday on September 26, soon after he finished dubbing for 'Aegan' in Chennai. 

Before acting in the remake film 'Billa', he personally met and received greetings from Super Star where he was delighted with a feast and was presented a book 'Living Masters of Himalayas'. Ajith simply got immersed and overwhelmed while reading it. Rajinikanth's involvement in spirituality and his visit to temples before the release of his films are well-known. Even during the release of 'Sivaji-The Boss', Rajini made a visit to Temple in Tirupati and sought the blessings. 
 
It seems that Ajith, has started following the footsteps of Super Star in his spiritual path. Ajith too has plans to go Tirupati Lord Venkateshwara temple and to the famous Kollur Thai Mookambikai Temple whilst his aegan will release at the October end.

Ajith and Sameera joint Gautham film

We all know that Ajith's 'Aegan' is set for a Deepavali release. But, the question that lingers is, what's the next venture of the ultimate star? Talks and buzzes are going around that Ajith has joined hands for the first time with Gautham Vasudevan Menon for Sivaji Productions.

Ajith will don the role of a gangster, which he's poise in doing after 'Billa' and Sameera Reddy has been roped in to play the role of his girl friend. As usual, Gautham's Chief Marksman Harris will score the music. Nirav Shah, the man behind the grand looks of 'Billa', will wield the camera once again for this flick.

Director Gautham has suggested an attractive title 'Surangani' for the film. But the same title has been registered for another film which is under production. Sivaji Productions is currently making negotiations with the producers to acquire the same, catchy title.

The film will go to the floors in November and is slated to be released on April 14, 2009.

'Varanam Aayiram', 'Aegan' in USA

'Aegan' and 'Varanam Ayiram' are slated for release on the 24th and 28th of October respectively. Latest developments are that Bharat Creations, a leading distributor of Tamil and Telugu films in the United States of America has acquired the distribution rights for these films. Vikram's 'Kandasamy' and Vijay's 'Villu' which would release much later have also been acquired by Bharat Creations.

Both 'Varanam Ayiram' and 'Aegan' are expected to do very well. Suriya is at his best in 'Varanam Ayiram', which chronicles the life of a man from childhood to old age. Suriya has undergone drastic physical changes to portray the physical characteristics associated with youth and middle age. Surya will be seen in dual roles. For director Gautham Menon this is his seventh film and his earlier movie with Suriya "Kaaka Kaaka" turned out to be a major blockbuster. The Gautham Menon - Harris Jayaraj - Suriya team is all set to recreate the magic once again. Sameera Reddy, Divya Spandana and Simran co-star with Suriya.

'Aegan' is the debut film for Raju Sundaram as director. The film stars Ajith and is the remake of the successful Hindi movie 'Main Hoon Na'. Nayantara, Navdeep, Suhasini Ratnam, Nassar and Jayaram will also be seen in the film. The combo of Ajith and Nayantara is highly anticipated as both sizzled together in 'Billa'. Ajith - Nayantara - Yuvan Shankar Raja, the people behind 'Billa' are expected to conjure the magic once again with 'Aegan'.

Ajith in Thalaivan

Director Madhesh who churned out the Vijay flick 'Madura' is all set to team up with Ajith for a film titled 'Thalaivan'. Though 'Madura' went on to be a commercial success, Vijay fans felt there was something missing. This reportedly has wedged a wall of professional silence between Vijay and the director. 

Madhesh however went on to direct Vijayakanth in the film 'Arasangam' which was well received by the public. Buzz is that Madhesh wanted to team up with Vijay once again but then has met with stony silence from the other end. This probably made the director approach Ajith. The actor fondly called 'Thala' by his fans is reportedly happy with the story and has given a go-ahead to Madhesh. 

In all probability, once 'Aegan' is released, work on 'Thalaivan might start. Reports also suggest that Madhesh is currently abroad scouting for locations to film the song sequences. 

When every actor tastes success, they are referred to as Thalaivan in publicity materials and by fans. Interestingly, the name 'Thalaivan' may be used as the title of a film for the first time. Something Ajith fans would simply love.

Ajith's next film?

After 'aegan,' Ajith had given his call sheet to AVM. It is supposed to be directed by Gautham Vasudeva Menon but it seems the director is yet to tell the story to the producer.

'Arasangam' Madesh had narrated a story to Ajith, who liked it and that set Madesh working on the next step. A catchy title like 'Thalaivan' is ready too. So, would Ajith do the AVM film or Madesh film next?

The story tellers are biting their nails in anxiety!

Aegan - Jayaram Press meet

Actor Jayaram seems to be the toast of Tamil Cinema after being part of the successful ventures 'Dhaam Dhoom' and 'Saroja'.

On opting to play a baddie in 'Dhaam Dhoom', he said, "I was not keen to do a negative role. In my career which has spanned over 25 years, I was approached for the first time to play a villain. It lured me and hence I agreed. But then the role was a portrayal in a dignified manner".

Shooting for 'Saroja' was a terrific experience. Everyone was friendly on the sets and the youngsters involved in the project had the fire in them to succeed. Shooting for the movie was indeed a great joy'.

On his forthcoming film 'Aegan' in which he is cast alongside Ajith, Jayaram, said, "I play a comical role in the film. I appear all through the movie. I am sure it will bring the roof down in theaters with laughter".

Complimenting Ajith, he says, "He is a man of dedication. He speaks less but lets his films do the talking. He is one of the focused artistes in the industry".

Ajith in Kamal's movie?

Ajith's Aegan is gearing up for Deepavali release before which the actor is bombarded with projects. He has already committed Gautam Menon's next movie which is slated to go on floors in December 2008. The director is now busy with the post production works of Vaaranam Aayiram and the last leg shooting of the Trisha starrer Chennayil Oru Mazhaikaalam.
We also hear wind of the news that AVM Productions are in discussions with Ajith for an untitled venture. Sources have it that the movie is likely to be a remake of the cult hit Sagalakalavallavan with Ajith playing the lead. Same sources aver that Jananathan would direct the movie.

However, given Jananathan's previous credentials – a filmmaker who makes original themes - we doubt if he would be ready to take up a remake in hand. However, nothing has been confirmed from Ajith side. More updates awaited.

Ajith follows Rajini

Like Rajini who flies to Himalayas in search of peace after completing every movie, Ajith rides to his ECR bungalow and hides there for many days.  He remains inaccessible there and comes out after taking rest.

Now a days he keeps away media and their people as he feels they are the trouble makers!

He avoids visiting houses of other personalities in the industry and even he avoids Rajini and his family!
