It's Not Ajith But Rajinikanth For Shankar!

News of Shankar's teaming up with Ajith had become a sensation and the fans of the both were thrilled to hear it. Even general cine-goers had welcomed the development and expressed their happiness.

There were recently rumours that Shankar will be directing Ajith in his next movie. The director is currently busy with Vikram and Amy Jackson's Ai and after wrapping up this project, it was said that he would be moving on to his next flick with the Thala.
