Ajith a 'cop' in Asal

Gautham Menon feels so lucky over cop stories laced with 'thrill" moments that even though his melodramas– Minnale, Vaaranam Aayiram have won him laurels, the filmmaker is adhering to tales on cops. Well it indeed is true that he has splendidly tasted success in this genre with Kaaka Kaaka and Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu turning out to be box-office hits.

Now with Ajith Kumar"s Asal slated to hit screens this weekend (February 5), the actor is involved in script discussions with Gautham Menon"s next film that will start rolling shortly.

Close sources of Gautham Menon have mentioned that it will be a taut thriller revolving around a cop (played by Ajith Kumar). In recent times, Ajith Kumar has been spotted with typical trimmed hair cut of a cop. A.R. Rahman will score music for this film and Dayanidhi Azhagiri is producing the film under the banner of Cloud Nine Productions.
