Ajit & Gautham come together in Surangani

It is the most exciting project on the floor. Ajit, the most handsome and dashing hero of Tamil cinema is going to be directed with the director's director Gautham Vasudeva Menon in a film to be produced by Sivaji Productions Ram Kumar.

Gautham has given it a catchy title Surangani. Sivaji Productions is now negotiating with the producer who has registered this title for another film. The shoot of this film will start on November 1 in Chennai.

Surangani is going to be Ajit's next film after Aegan. According to sources close to the unit, Ajit has been bowled over by Gautham's script. Ajit it seems is going to play a deadly gangster in the film. It is about man who rises from humble beginnings, to become the biggest don in the world, while Sameera Reddy will play the role of the gangster's moll.

The film will have music by Harris Jayaraj, and camera is by Ajit's favourite Nirav Shah the man who gave that slick look to Billa. The film will be shot at one go, and will be ready for an April 14, 2009 release.
