We have already reported that Ajith will team up with Vignesh Shivan for his next outing. Tentatively titled AK 62, the film is likely to go on floors soon. According to rumours, Ajith will play the role of an organic farmer who takes up a social cause and fight against corporates and politicians for his cause.

Trisha, who is basking in the glory of Ponniyin Selvan, is rumoured to play the leading lady. Now it looks like the film will have two heroines and the team has approached Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play the lead. There is a buzz that Ash is highly impressed with the script and her role, however, she is yet to sign on the dotted line.

Other reports said the director travelled to London (where Ajith is holidaying with his family) to convince him. With rumour mills churning out back-to-back, all we can do is wait for an official update from the makers.
