Ajith ends a 2-year wait with Vidaamuyarchi, which releases on February 6; the trailer just dropped in Tamil and Telugu.
Ajith looks charming in a tux and also rugged in his cop avatar.
After Vignesh Sivan opted out, Magizh Thirumeni stepped in to direct; this is his 6th Tamil movie.
Ajith and the gorgeous Trisha Krishnan reunite after 10 years; they last worked together in Gautam Menon's Yennai Arindhaal.
Vidaamuyarchi joins a long list of Ajith films beginning with the letter V: Veeram (2014), Vedalam (2015), Vivegam (2017), Viswasam (2019), Valimai (2022).
It will be interesting to watch Ajith face action star Arjun Sarja who is now doing more negative roles.
Ajith is 53, Arjun is 62. When the stars are in action, they will make you believe that age is just a number.
Anirudh Ravichander's stimulating BGM is another reason to look out for. Anirudh composed the music for two of Ajith's films, Vedalam (2015) and Vivegam (2017).
Vidaamuyarchi is said to be a remake of the 1997 Hollywood film Breakdown starring Kurt Russell, Kathleen Quinlan and J T Walsh.
Regina Cassandra also stars in Vidaamuyarchi, which means 'perseverance' in Tamil.
