Ajith Kumar’s ‘Daredevil’ first look echoes ‘Mankatha’ vibes; Adhik Ravichandran’s directorial to hit floors in November

Ajith Kumar is once again at the centre of attention, this time with a new look from his upcoming film ‘Daredevil.’ Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film marks Ajith’s reunion with the filmmaker after ‘Good Bad Ugly.’ The project has already created curiosity among fans because of the actor-director combination.

Shalini

is also making a special comeback behind the scenes as the film's producer.

With the first look now out, expectations around Ajith’s next acting project have started building even as he continues to remain busy with his racing commitments.

The much-awaited first look of ‘Daredevil’ has now been unveiled, giving fans their first glimpse of Ajith’s character. The actor is seen in a sharp white suit while holding a traditional dice game piece in his hand. His salt-and-pepper appearance adds a mature and stylish touch to the poster.

The overall look has also reminded some fans of his popular Vinayak Mahadev character from ‘Mankatha.’ The first look has therefore quickly become a talking point among Ajith fans, especially with the actor sporting a look that carries a familiar yet fresh feel.

Ajith Kumar’s ‘Daredevil’ shoot to begin in November

The makers have also announced that the shooting of ‘Daredevil’ will begin in November. Ajith is currently focused on his international car racing activities and is expected to complete his racing commitments before joining the film’s sets.

The actor has been actively participating in races across different countries with professional members of his racing team. His continued involvement in motorsport has led to questions among fans about when he would return to cinema.

The November schedule now provides clarity on his next major acting commitment.

Shalini turns producer for husband Ajith’s ‘Daredevil’

‘Daredevil’ also brings an interesting change behind the camera, with Shalini taking charge as the producer. Her return to the film industry in a production role has added another special aspect to the project. Ajith has previously worked repeatedly with filmmakers whose style connected with him, including

Siva

and H Vinoth. Adhik Ravichandran has now joined that list after directing ‘Good Bad Ugly.’ The new film also has GV Prakash Kumar handling the music. With Ajith’s new first look, the November shoot announcement, and an interesting team coming together, ‘Daredevil’ is shaping up as one of his closely watched upcoming projects.
