Filmmaker Vignesh Shiva has clarified that he is no longer associated with Ajith Kumar’s upcoming film. Speaking at a fans meet, he confirmed the Tamil project is not happening and that the opportunity has been passed on to filmmaker Magizh Thirumeni for whom he expressed his happiness.
At the event, Vignesh said, “I’m happy for Magizh Thirumeni for getting to work with Ajith sir. It’s a big breakthrough for him and I’m also going to enjoy this movie as a fan." He also added that the makers were unhappy with the second half and wanted to change the director. When the project was announced last May, Vignesh took to Twitter to thank Ajith for the opportunity. “Thank U #AjithSir for this greatest opportunity to work with you for the prestigious #AK62. Words can’t explain the happiness (sic).”
Over the last few months, some reports suggested that Vignesh had been removed from the project and the makers have roped in Magizh instead. The yet-untitled film is currently dubbed as ‘AK 62.’
A few days ago, Vignesh took to Instagram to reveal the full names of his twin boys two days after his wife Nayanthara shared the same at an event in Chennai. Along with the names: Daiwik N Shivan and RudroNeel N Shivan, Vignesh also shared a glimpse of the twin boys who could be seen resting in Nayanthara’s arms in the picture.
In his post, he revealed the names of his boys in English as well as Tamil. He also wrote that the N in the name stands for Nayanthara, whom he described as the best mother in the world.
