We have already reported that the release of AK 57 has been postponed to June for Ramzan. Going by reports, the much-awaited Mahesh Babu-Murugadoss project is also likely to hit the screens around the same time. This means Thala is likely to face a tough competitor at the box office.

Meanwhile, AK 57 is in its final leg of shooting. The last schedule is likely to begin this month. We hear that Ajith will play the role of an Interpol Officer. Apparently, an investigation from Chennai will take him to Europe, according to the story. Kajal plays the leading lady and Anirudh is the music director. Produced by Satya Jyothi Films, the team has also roped in Kamal Haasan's younger scion Akshara to play an important role.
