Vidaa Muyarchi, Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar’s upcoming film with director Magizh Thirumeni, is in its final leg of shooting, the makers announced on Tuesday (December 17) with new stills from the film.

Ajith, donning a tuxedo, looks stylish in the stills, reminding fans of the Billa days. One of the picture feature him alongside superstar Trisha, the female lead of the film. With the post, the makers have also asserted that they are planning on releasing the film during Pongal in January 2025.

In an interesting turn of events, yet another Ajith Kumar-starrer, Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, had its eyes set on the Pongal release window, leading to speculations that one of the films might announce a new release date. According to trade talks, Good Bad Ugly might postpone its release plans to avoid this unusual clash.

In a special pre-release event for Pushpa 2: The Rule in Chennai, producer Naveen Yerneni of Mythri Movie Makers, the banner backing Good Bad Ugly, had hinted that they had been trying to release the film for Pongal and that a confirmation about the same will be announced soon.

The post from Lyca Productions, the banner backing Vidaa Muyarchi, comes just days after the makers of Good Bad Ugly unveiled a special behind-the-stills picture to mark Ajith’s final day of shooting the film.

Vidaa Muyarchi also stars Arjun Sarja and Regina Cassandra. Mostly shot in Azerbaijan, the film seems to be an action-packed crime drama set in a desolate region. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music for the movie while Om Prakash and Anirudh Ravichander are the cinematographers.

Good Bad Ugly features Prabhu, Prasanna, Arjun Das, Sunil, Rahul Dev and Yogi Babu among others. The film is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar under their Mythri Movie Makers banner. The film will have music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, who is reuniting with Ajith after their 2014 film Veeram. Abinandhan Ramanujam serves as the cinematographer while Vijay Velukutty is on board as the editor.

In yet another coincidence, both Vidaa Muyarchi and Good Bad Ugly features Trisha as the female lead.

Meanwhile, Ajith is set to pursue racing again after a long gap. The actor is set to participate in endurance racing as team owner and principal driver of Ajith Kumar Racing in 2025.
