AK 64 is Dare Devil! After months of uncertainty, it was announced today (August 3) that Tamil star Ajith Kumar is reuniting with his Good Bad Ugly director Adhik Ravichandran for his upcoming film. Titled Dare Devil, the upcoming film will mark Ajith’s wife and former actor Shalini Ajith Kumar’s maiden production venture.

Ajith’s manager and acclaimed Tamil cinema PRO Suresh Chandraa announced the news on his X handle.

Notably, the film has popular music composer Anirudh Ravichander returning to score music for an Ajith film after Vidaamuyarchi. The upcoming project marks the composer’s fourth collaboration with Ajith.

Other details regarding the film’s cast and plot remain unknown. Dare Devil will have cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam and editing by Vijay Velukutty. The film is produced by Shalini under her Brave Hearts Production banner.

Ajith’s last film was Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik. The film, which was released in theatres on April 10, 2025, told the story of a retired gangster forced to take up arms one last time to save his son. The Hindu’s review called Good Bad Ugly possibly “the best fan service Tamil cinema has ever seen.”

“Armed with an unhinged Ajith Kumar, director Adhik Ravichandran delivers a new benchmark in fan service with a reference-packaged film that should have been more. Even when it’s far from perfect and feels like a brass-knuckle punch to our senses, Good Bad Ugly is loving work of nostalgia,” read the review.
