The first phase of Lok Sabha elections is currently underway in 102 seats across 21 states and Union Territories, and the counting of the votes will be held on June 4. The first phase polls is being held on all seats of Andaman and Nicobar Islands (1), Arunachal Pradesh (2), Lakshadweep (1), Madhya Pradesh (6), Meghalaya (2), Mizoram (1), Nagaland (1), Puducherry (1), Rajasthan (12), Sikkim (1), Tamil Nadu (39), Uttar Pradesh (8), and Uttarakhand (5). Furthermore, there will be five seats each in Assam and Maharashtra, four in Bihar, three in West Bengal, two in Manipur, and one each in Jammu and Kashmir, Tripura, and Chhattisgarh.

Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar's next big film titled Good Bad Ugly was announced recently and will be coming out in theatres worldwide as a grand Pongal 2025 release. The upcoming film will be directed by filmmaker-actor Adhik Ravichandran, who hit the high note with Mark Antony (2023), which went on to become a massive commercial success minting more than 100 crores at the box office. With Ajith currently busy filming his upcoming film, VidaaMuyarchi, popular film producer G. Dhananjeyan Govind recently sat down with Galatta for an exclusive interview to talk about what convinced the leading Tamil actor to board Adhik as the director of Good Bad Ugly, which rolls into production this June. 

Speaking about Good Bad Ugly, producer Dhananjeyan explained, "As far as I know, he grew fond of Adhik Ravichandran during the shooting of Nerkonda Paarvai and that was the time when he told him about doing a film together and asked him to narrate a story. They have been discussing since then, but nothing was fixed because the producer wasn't finalized and they were waiting. If we like someone, we say that we can travel together. But, when we will travel, will be known only after waiting for a period of time. Ajith sir had then told Adhik to work on other projects. There is guarantee for a producer to step forward when Adhik gives a major success." He further stated, "Ajith sir had already decided before Mark Antony became a hit that he will collaborate with Adhik. But, a producer comes forward only after looking at the success of Mark Antony since it will give him an assurance that he's truly talented. Ajith sir then tells the producer that he's approved Adhik and asks whether he feels okay as a prospect to direct the film. So, it all comes down to all these factors falling in place at the right time." 

Dhananjeyan also opened up on Good Bad Ugly being announced as a Pongal 2025 release and said, "The reason for such a movie is because Adhik is an efficient filmmaker and makes films quickly. The second aspect is that he completed Mark Antony amidst so many challenges. He's gotten the courage now after completing the film by taking on those challenges. Furthermore, Ajith sir has given dates to shoot continuously and has told that we'll start filming in June and it will be a non-stop shoot to complete the film in three months' time. So, when the film is completed by September, the film can come out for Pongal." 

Watch producer G. Dhananjeyan Govind talk about Ajith's Good Bad Ugly in the video below: 

Leading Tamil actor Ajith Kumar's fans kicked off the celebrations as his next film, Good Bad Ugly, was officially announced on Thursday, March 14. The title of the upcoming film was announced along with the director being confirmed as Adhik Ravichandran, who hit the bullseye in Mark Antony (2023). Good Bad Ugly, which is Ajith's 63rd film in his career, will roll into production this June and be out in cinemas in a grand manner as a Pongal 2025 release, with National Award-winning music director Devi Sri Prasad announced to be composing the songs and the background score. 

With Good Bad Ugly announced to be the title of Ajith's next film, congratulatory messages are pouring in for director Adhik Ravichandran on bagging the opportunity to direct the prestigious project. In that light, blockbuster Tamil filmmaker Venkat Prabhu, who is currently filming The Greatest of All Time with 'Thalapathy' Vijay, took to social media to extend his wishes to Adhik and declared the title of his film with Ajith as fantastic. Venkat Prabhu's latest statement about Good Bad Ugly has caught the attention of Ajith's fans everywhere considering the filmmaker had directed the action crime film Mankatha (2011), which went on to become one of the biggest box office hits in the actor's career. 

Hearty wishes brother!!!❤️🥂 semma title🔥 https://t.co/YcETLsJxyU

Good Bad Ugly will be Ajith's next after VidaaMuyarchi, which is currently being filmed under Magizh Thirumeni's direction and will be launched into theatres worldwide this year. The film's title has been inspired from Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and is already its biggest USP. Adhik Ravichandran, who delivered a cracker of an entertainer with his Mark Antony last year, will be looking to come out firing on all cylinders with Good Bad Ugly considering he has expressed his admiration for Ajith on a number of occasion stating that he is a hard-core fan of the superstar and fans too will be keeping their fingers crossed to witness a full out action feast on the big screen.

The wait has come to an end for leading Tamil actor Ajith Kumar's fans everywhere as the first big announcement for his next film, the tentatively titled AK 63, is now out. On Thursday evening, March 14, the makers of the upcoming project dropped a happy news for the superstar's fans everywhere that the film is titled Good Bad Ugly, while also confirming that Adhik Ravichandran, who hit the bullseye with Mark Antony (2023), is the director. The buzz surrounding Good Bad Ugly has been massive ever since it was revealed last year that there were plans for both Ajith and Adhik to join hands and this latest title announcement has no doubt sent fans into celebration mode. 

Ajith, who is at present filming the highly-anticipated VidaaMuyarchi under Magizh Thirumeni's direction, is teaming up with Adhik Ravichandran for the first time in Good Bad Ugly, which has also been announced to be coming out in theatres worldwide as a grand Pongal 2025 release. There is tremendous excitement already surrounding the film, which will also feature songs and a background score by Devi Sri Prasad, who has been on a signing spree after he won the National Award for his work in Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 (2021). Ajith and Adhik have also roped in a technically strong team for their Good Bad Ugly, which will include cinematographer Abinandan Ramanujam, editor Vijay Velukutty, costume designer Anu Vardhan, stunt choreographer 'Supreme' Sundar, and action director Kaloian Vodenicharov to name a notable few. 

Announced to begin filming this June, Ajith's Good Bad Ugly has borrowed its title from Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and is no doubt the Tamil film's biggest USP already. Having made his filmmaking debut in Trisha Illana Nayanthara (2015), Adhik, who also directed films Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan (2017) and Bagheera (2023), has often expressed his admiration for Ajith revealing himself to be a die-hard fan of the Tamil actor. With AK 63's title now announced to be Good Bad Ugly, all sights will be on Ajith to come out firing all cylinders in the film as well as VidaaMuyarchi, which is gearing up for a massive release this year.

He revealed that he was extremely nervous during the initial stages of filming about working with Ajith and Vijay, adding that they both made everyone feel cool and relaxed on the sets.

Vetri Duraisamy died after his car met with an accident and his vehicle fell into the Sutlej river in the Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh on February 4. Ajith, who paid his final respects to Vetri, had attended his wedding a few years back. According to reports, Vetri Duraisamy, who was traveling with his friends, met with an accident while en route to Spiti from Shimla, with his car then plunging into the river. The driver of the vehicle, Tenzin, was also found dead, while co-passenger, Gopinath, was rescued and is at present undergoing treatment at a hospital. Multiple teams were dispatched for the rescue operations, including the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) Uttarakhand, while the district police officials also joined along. 

Vetri Duraisamy was found by a team of divers yesterday from the site of the accident nine days after the rescue operations began. His body was soon shifted to the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital for the post-mortem. Vetri had directed a film titled Endravathu Oru Naal (2021), which had Vidharth and Remya Nambeesan in the lead roles. Several notable personalities from all walks of life have been paying their respects to Vetri Duraisamy, including actor-politician Kamal Haasan, who penned a heartfelt tribute on X earlier in the day writing, "The news of the death of Vetri Duraisamy, the son of former Chennai Mayor and friend 'Saidai' Duraisamy, is deeply saddening. It is an unimaginable grief that a young man, who was doing his work with dignity, met his end at a tender age in such an accident. I console the father who is suffering from the loss of his son with a heavy heart. He should recover from this soon." 

சென்னையின் முன்னாள் மேயர், நண்பர் சைதை துரைசாமி அவர்களின் மகன் வெற்றி துரைசாமியின் மறைவுச் செய்தி மிகுந்த துயரத்துக்கு உள்ளாக்குகிறது.

வாழத் தொடங்கும் வயதில் கம்பீரமாகத் தன் பணிகளைச் செய்துவந்த இளைஞர் இப்படியொரு விபத்தில் இறுதியை அடைந்தது எண்ணத் தாளாத துக்கம்.

மகனை இழந்து…

These latest pictures of Ajith from Azerbaijan have no doubt left his fans on social media delighted, who have been in celebration mode and expect full-scale promotions on VidaaMuyarchi to pick up pace in the days ahead. The upcoming film is being directed by Magizh Thirumeni of Thadam (2019) fame and marks the first time the filmmaker is is collaborating with Ajith, who will be looking to register his fifth consecutive hit at the box office after Viswasam (2019), Nerkonda Paarvai (2019), Valimai (2022), and Thunivu (2023). VidaaMuyarchi will also see Ajith paired with actress Trisha Krishnan for the fifth time after Ji (2005), Kireedam (2007), Mankatha (20111), and Yennai Arindhaal (2015), with 'Action King' Arjun, Regina Cassandra, and Arav cast in key roles, while the songs and the background score are being composed by 'Rockstar' Anirudh Ravichander. 

Leading Tamil actor Arun Vijay's 2024 has kicked off on a bright note as his latest film, Mission: Chapter 1 – Achcham Enbadhu Illaiye, has received a superb response in theatres, with the number of shows and screen count getting increased in the second week. In light of Mission: Chapter 1's release, a fans festival event for Arun Vijay was recently organized by Galatta Media, which saw the popular star's family members also gracing the occasion among whom included his father Vijayakumar and sisters Kavitha and Sridevi.

Explaining how the entire family would be tensed each time Arun Vijay's film releases, Vijayakumar stated, "It's all about the expectations because making a film is no ordinary task. A film becomes a lesson. It has to include a good story, sentiment, fight, comedy, and all such aspects. I've done many characters, but films like Natpukkaga, Kizhakku Cheemayile, Nattamai, Cheran Pandian, and Bharathiraja's Anthimanthaarai are the ones that are well-remembered. Similarly, among Arun's films that I like the most are Jananam in which he acted superbly, and then there's Thadaiyara Thaakka, Thadam, and Yennai Arindhaal." 

Elaborating on Yennai Arindhaal, Vijayakumar said, "In the film, the hero is 'Thala' Ajith, but he gave [Arun Vijay] a character, who was his equal, which is not something any hero usually does. Ajith sir told Gautham Menon, 'Sir, you do what you've already thought for Arun Vijay's character and don't compromise on anything just because I'm the hero.' No hero does that. And, 'Thala' did that wonderfully and it's not something that can be forgotten even today. So, after Yennai Arindhaal, his (Arun Vijay) range went up. Many films have since come out like Yaanai, Sinam, and now Mission: Chapter 1. When we watch the films, I hear the people of Tamil Nadu saying, 'We know, sir. Your son will rise to the top.' And, that makes me extremely happy."
