Tamil actor Ajith Kumar celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, May 1. To mark the occasion, one of his old films, Dheena, was re-released and fans flocked to theatres to watch it.
But do you know that Ajith Kumar is not the first choice for Dheena? Actor Prashanth’s father, Thiagarajan recently said in an interview that his son was the first to play the hero in Dheena. Though Prashant liked the story, he asked the director to wait as he was acting in many films at that time. But at that time, Prashant’s father said that AR Murugadoss had already completed the shooting of Dheena with Ajith. Netizens are commenting that Ajith is more suitable for this film than Prashanth.
Dheena was originally released in 2001. The film marked the debut of director AR Murugadoss. The film also marked the debut of Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi in the Tamil film industry and the debut of Laila. The film also earned Ajith the nickname ‘Thala’. The film, released on Pongal in 2001, was a huge success. The music and background score by Yuvan Shankar Raja remains very popular among fans. Meanwhile, Ajith is gearing up to return to the big screen with Vidaa Muyarchi.
The film is currently being shot with Ajith starring alongside Trisha, Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra and Arav. The new thriller, directed by Magizh Thirumeni, is expected to hit the screens in the second half of 2024. Interestingly, even at 50, Kumar has performed most of the daredevil stunts fearlessly and without a body double.
Ajith also has Good Bad Ugly in the works. The film is the actor’s 63rd film. Mythri Movie Makers announced the film last year. Adhik Ravichandran is directing the film and Devi Sri Prasad is on board for the music. Good Bad Ugly is slated to hit the screens in June 2024 and will hit the theatres during the Pongal Festival 2025.
