OFFICIAL: Magizh Thirumeni to helm AK62; Anirudh, Nirav Shah onboard 

The long-pending confusion over the filmmaker of Ajith's next has officially come to an end. Director Magizh Thirumeni will be helming AK62 and the pooja of the project happened yesterday in Lyca Productions' office with limited participants. It may be noted that AK62 was supposed to be directed by Vignesh Shivan. But the filmmaker was disassociated from the project due to undisclosed reasons.

The full-fledged announcement about the film will be made by the production house in the first week of March. But right now it is confirmed that composer Anirudh, who had previously worked with Ajith in Vedhalam and Vivegam, will be reuniting with the actor. Cinematographer Nirav Shah, who collaborated with Ajith in Billa, Nerkonda Paarvai, Valimai and the recent Thunivu, will be working in AK62 too.

There is no information on the cast and genre of the film yet. They are expected to be revealed along with the project's title announcement in March.

Magizh Thirumeni last made Kalaga Thalaivan, starring Udhayanidhi Stalin. The thriller follows the journey of a vigilante who wars against evil corporates.
