Both Ajith and Vignesh Shivan were announced by Lyca Productions last year to be collaborating on the upcoming AK 62, which will have music by Anirudh Ravichander. However, there were reports sometime back stating the film will likely happen with another director, with no official confirmation made so far in regard to the speculations. That being said, Vignesh Shivan extending his support to Ajith, who has suffered a deep personal loss, shows they are indeed on good terms. The loss of his father will come as a huge personal loss to Ajith and we here at Galatta extend our heartfelt condolences to him and the bereaved family.
