Ajith-Yash In 'KGF 3'? Prashanth Neel-Hombale Films Plan Not One, But Two Films With Thala

Hombale Films and Prashanth Neel are planning a biggie. If the latest buzz is to be believed, the 'KGF' creators are in talks with none other than Tamil actor Ajith Kumar.

Sources have told DT Next that Prashanth Neel, following the completion of 'Salaar 2,' is planning to direct two consecutive films starring Ajith. The specifics of these projects are still under wraps, but there's speculation that these could be tentatively titled AK 64 and AK 65, or perhaps AK 65 and AK 66.

According to insiders, Ajith and Prashanth had a crucial meeting during a break in the shooting schedule of 'VidaaMuyarchi' last month. Prashanth is reportedly seeking a three-year commitment from Ajith for this collaboration. The first film, likely to be AK 64, is slated to commence production in 2025 and is expected to hit theaters in 2026.

Interestingly, the second film in this collaboration will reportedly have a connection to the 'KGF' universe. "The climax of the second film will lead into 'KGF 3,' and Ajith's character is set to be a pivotal figure in Prashanth Neel's cinematic universe," the source told the publication.

This development indicates a potential crossover, with Ajith and Yash, the star of the 'KGF' series, possibly sharing screen space in the film's climax.

An official announcement regarding this project is anticipated to be made with much fanfare next year. 'KGF' is one of the most-loved pan-India franchises in the last decades. The first part was released in 2018 while the second hit the screens in 2022.

However, some sources say that there is no truth in the reports as Neel already has his hands full. His next three projects are: 'Salaar 2' with Prabhas, 'Dragon' with Junior NTR and a film with Dil Raju.

Meanwhile, Yash is busy with his next movie 'Toxic' while Ajith's next release in 'VidaaMuyarchi'. He will join the shooting of his next movie 'Good Bad Ugly', directed by Adhik Ravichandran, soon.
