Ajith Kumar’s much-anticipated project AK 64 is back in the headlines, this time for the creative tug-of-war that’s unfolding behind the scenes. Initially, the film was believed to be in safe hands, with director Adhik Ravichandran of Good Bad Ugly fame set to helm the venture under the banner of Vels Film international, headed by Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh. However, recent developments have stirred the waters. Dawn Pictures’ producer Akash Bhaskaran is reportedly keen on taking over the project, adding a layer of uncertainty to the film’s production framework. With Ajith's star power and AK 64 being projected as a big-ticket entertainer, the battle to secure the film is drawing intense industry attention.

Amid this shifting production landscape, actor-director dhanush has re-entered the conversation in a surprising twist. industry insiders reveal that dhanush had previously prepared a script tailored for ajith kumar, but scheduling conflicts prevented the collaboration from materializing. Now that Dhanush's own directorial venture Idly kadai is in post-production, he is reportedly planning a trip to dubai to personally pitch the final version of the script to Ajith. If ajith gives his nod, the entire equation of AK 64 could change overnight, with the possibility of dhanush not just writing but perhaps also directing the film. The idea of a Dhanush-Ajith team-up has already created a buzz among fans, who are eager to see how their distinct styles could merge on screen.

Despite all the speculation, sources close to Vels Film international remain optimistic and assert that the project is still firmly under their control. They’re said to be in the final stages of budget approvals and production planning. Adding credibility to their stance, the production house is reportedly preparing a special video that showcases its upcoming film lineup — with AK 64 being one of the centerpieces. As all eyes remain on Ajith’s decision and the outcome of Dhanush’s dubai narration, AK 64 is shaping up to be not just a film but a high-stakes game of creative and commercial alignment.
