Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar has signed two projects with 'KGF' and 'Salaar' director Prashanth Neel. If this is true, this is Ajith and Prashanth's first collaboration. This has also led to speculation that Ajith would join the 'KGF' world and appear in 'KGF 3'. According to a DT insider, Ajith and Prashanth met during VidaaMuyarchi's schedule break last month. Prashanth had requested more than three years of Ajith's attention. 'AK 64' which is their initial collaboration will be a stand-alone piece and will go into production in 2025 and be released in 2026.
The insider further said that Ajith and Prashanth have narrowed down the Tamil actor's role in the KGF universe. The director intends to create a different universe that will intersect with the KGF reality. As per rumours, the climax of the second film will lead to 'KGF 3' and Ajith's character is touted to be the biggest of them all in Prashanth Neel Cinematic Universe. This project would be either Ajith's 65th or 66th film. However, neither Prashanth nor Ajith have responded to the claims.
