 Ajith to lead the second Tamil Film of Dil Raju?

Telugu Producer Dil Raju  made a successful debut in Kollywood with Vijay’s Varisu, and the latest news is that he has approached Ajith for a violent film with Marco director Haneef Adeni. Currently, negotiations are reportedly underway between the two parties. Following the success of Good Bad Ugly, Ajith has signed his next film with Adhik Ravichandran, and if all goes well, the upcoming project will be produced by Dil Raju.

Kollywood insiders report that Ajith is demanding a hefty remuneration these days, and it will be interesting to see how Dil Raju negotiates with him.

Music maestro and Oscar winning composer AR Rahman was accused of copyright infringement over a song rendered by him in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 2 in 2023. Classical singer Faiyaz Wasifuddin Dagar had sued Rahman over the composition of Veera Raja Veera song with an allegation that it was copied from the song Shiva Stuti composed by his father Nasir Faiyazuddin Dagar.

In April this year, a single judge bench ruled in favour of the complainant and directed Rahman to give credit to the original composers and also fined him a sum of 2 Crores to be paid as compensation with addition to costs worth 2 lakhs. Rahman then appealed against this order and a division bench stayed this injunction but directed him and the producers of PS 2 to pay the sum of 2 Crores as compensation.

Now, the division bench of Delhi High Court on Wednesday set aside the single judge’s ruling. Justices C Hari Shankar and Om Prakash Shukla delivered the order while hearing Rahman’s appeal against the previous single-judge ruling.The bench said that they will allow the appeal, adding, “We have authored concurrent opinions. We have set aside the impugned order by the single-judge on principle.” The HC did however, clarify that it had not yet examined the actual question of infringement at this stage.

AR Rahman is currently busy working on Ram Charan’s upcoming pan-India film Peddi. He is returning to Tollywood after nearly two decades with this film.

A key highlight of Kantara Chapter1 is the VFX created by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies VFX. Fans pointed out how Hombale Films once clashed with SRK at the box office when Salaar released alongside Dunki in Christmas 2023. That clash sparked an online fan war filled with negativity. Now in 2025, the same production house has partnered with Red Chillies VFX for one of its biggest projects, showing how past rivalries have been left behind. Many note how Red Chillies VFX did not hold grudges against Hombale Films despite the earlier clash. Instead, the company continues to build its reputation by consistently delivering top-quality work for major films. With Kantara Chapter 1 scheduled to release on 2nd October, fans believe Rishab Shetty and the team are ready to create history again. The buzz around the film suggests it could be one of the biggest releases of the year.
