'Ajith Kumar sir is the real 'Daredevil'’: Director Adhik Ravichandran reveals why the title suits the actor, shares shooting plans for the film

Ajith Kumar’s upcoming movie has already created anticipation amongst his fan base, with the director Adhik Ravichandran assuring them of something new this time around. Titled 'Daredevil,' the upcoming film marks the second collaboration between the actor and the filmmaker after 'Good Bad Ugly.' The project will be produced by Ajith’s wife, Shalini Ajith Kumar, and features music by

Anirudh Ravichander

. While fans are waiting for more updates about the film, Adhik has shared why the title suits Ajith and explained how the new project will differ from their previous collaboration.

Adhik Ravichandran calls Ajith Kumar the real 'Daredevil'

In a recent interview with Behindwoods, Adhik spoke about the film’s title and revealed that Ajith himself suggested it. The director said, “I give a lot of thought to film titles, and Ajith sir does the same. He was the one who suggested the title 'Good Bad Ugly,' and he also came up with the title 'Daredevil.'” Explaining why the name fits the actor, he added, “In cinema, Ajith sir is the real daredevil. He takes risks in many areas, so I feel the title suits him perfectly.

” Ajith’s interest in taking risks, including his passion for car racing, has made the title a fitting choice for his next film.

'Daredevil' to be completely different from 'Good Bad Ugly'

Adhik also explained that he does not want 'Daredevil' to repeat the style of 'Good Bad Ugly.' The director said the upcoming film will take a different route and aims to appeal to a wider audience. “This film will be the complete opposite of 'Good Bad Ugly.' We are trying to make something different because audiences have already watched that film.

Why should they watch the same thing again? We want to make a film that people from all sections of the audience can enjoy,” he said.

His comments have raised curiosity about the film’s story, tone and presentation.
