Ajith Kumar to Portray Negative Shades in Daredevil, Shoot Begins Nov 2

Ajith Kumar is set to return to the big screen with a striking new avatar in his upcoming film Daredevil, directed by Adhik Ravichandran. Known for experimenting with his roles, Ajith is reportedly taking on a character with negative shades, a departure from his recent work. While the makers have not officially disclosed details about his role, industry buzz suggests audiences can expect a different side of the star.

Daredevil marks Ajith's second collaboration with director Adhik Ravichandran after their previous film Good Bad Ugly. The project is produced by Shalini Ajithkumar under the Bravehearts Production banner, bringing a personal touch to the venture. Music for the film will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, reuniting with Ajith after their work on Vidaamuyarchi.

The film was officially announced in August 2026, and preparations are in full swing for its shoot, which is scheduled to commence on November 2, 2026. According to reports, principal photography will take place in Hyderabad and select international locations. A massive casino set has been constructed at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, where a significant portion of the movie will be filmed.

Ajith had taken a break from acting to focus on his motorsport interests over the past year. With Daredevil, he is making a much-anticipated return to film sets under Adhik Ravichandran's direction. The combination of a fresh characterisation, a high-profile production team, and ambitious sets has generated considerable interest ahead of the shoot.
