The actor's 64th film, previously referred to as AK64, has been titled Dare Devil.

The announcement was made with the release of the film's first poster, featuring the words Dare and Devil designed on a pair of dice. Music for the film will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
Speaking about the collaboration, it was said by Adhik Ravichandran that Ajith Kumar's 34-year journey had been defined by passion, perseverance and unmatched charisma. Gratitude was also expressed towards the actor for placing his trust in the team, while producer Shalini Ajith Kumar was thanked for her support.
Fans react as Ajith Kumar returns after racing break
The announcement received mixed reactions from fans on social media. While many celebrated Ajith's return to films, others felt the first-look poster could have been more impactful. Some also expressed disappointment that much of the technical crew remained unchanged apart from composer Anirudh Ravichander.
Ajith has largely focused on his racing venture, Ajith Kumar Racing, since launching it in 2024 and has continued competing despite several widely reported accidents. His last two releases, Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly, arrived in 2025, with the latter emerging as the stronger box office performer after earning ₹248.25 crore worldwide, compared with ₹135.89 crore for Vidaamuyarchi.
The actor is also awaiting the release of his racing documentary Gladiators, directed by AL Vijay with music by GV Prakash Kumar.
