Latest buzz is that Ajith- Adhik film AK 64 will be postponed to December 2025 - January 2026 . Reasons are plenty. One is that Ajith has planned a health rejuvenation program before the shoot. Till March 2026, there is no F! schedules. See the report; Formula 1 and the FIA have announced the calendar for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship, with drivers and teams set to embark on another 24-round campaign as new technical regulations and 100% advanced sustainable fuels come into play.Starting with the Australian Grand Prix on the weekend of March 6-8 and concluding with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from December 4-6, the F1 community will visit five of the world’s seven continents over the course of the year.
In 2026,
Ramadan will take place throughout February and March, meaning the Bahrain and
Saudi Arabian Grands Prix will again be held in April.
Secondly, there
are some financial issues as producer Romeo Pictures lost a lot of money in
Kuberaa distribution. So AK is actually reducing his salary for him or maybe
strike a part settlement or payment spread across two films. Notably, AK’s
Manager Suresh Chandra is the Project designer for this film.
If
Prithviraj had got the best actor award or the film any award. It could have
caused a diplomatic embarrassment to India as Saudi Arabia had banned the film.
Reason being that it showed the country’s labour laws in poor light. Furthermore,
there were reports of Saudi authorities barring the Omani actor Talib Al
Balushi, who played a harsh employer in the film, from entering the country. Also
the book on which the film is made is also banned in Arab Countries. The Arabic
translation of the novel, titled "Ayyamul Maaiz," was also banned in
the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In conclusion, while the film did spark controversy
in some Gulf nations regarding its portrayal of Saudi Arabia, the extent of any
official "ban" seems debated, with reports suggesting some countries
initially delayed release due to censorship concerns rather than imposing a
complete prohibition.
So far no
guidelines regarding films that touch a diplomatic nerve has been issued to
national awards jury, in this case the
Ministry got the Chairman to bypass it. Director Blessy emphasized that the
film is a cinematic adaptation of the novel and should be viewed as a work of
art, not a literal representation of reality.
Aadujeevitham
was certified by censors in December 31 2023 and not in March 2024 as reported
by national media. Pradeep Nair the lone Malayali on the jury has spoken about
the Chairman having doubts about the story and execution. Even A R Rahman music
was not considered is what he says.
