South Indian cinema is abuzz with excitement as reports suggest a potential blockbuster collaboration between Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar and the critically acclaimed director Prashanth Neel. According to recent reports, the duo met and discussed the possibility of working on two films together. This exciting news has sent fans into a frenzy, with speculations rife about the nature of the projects and the possibility of Ajith entering the highly popular "KGF" universe.

The reports claim that the first film between Ajith and Neel could be a standalone project, tentatively titled "AK 64." This film is expected to go on floors in 2025 and hit theatres by 2026.

However, the real intrigue lies in the second project. Whispers suggest that this film, which could be titled "AK 65" or even "AK 66," will be a lead-up to the much-awaited "KGF 3." Reports state that the climax of this second film will directly connect to the narrative of "KGF 3," with Ajith playing a pivotal role in Prashanth Neel's cinematic universe.
