The megastar of Tamil Cinema, Ajith Kumar is gearing up for his upcoming release Thunivu. Billed as high-octane action adventure, the film was earlier (tentatively) titled as AK 61, as it is the 61st film of the superstar’s career.
His previous film to hit big screens, is Valimai, which turned out to be a profitable venture despite mixed reviews. The upcoming film has been shot in different parts of Hyderabad and Chennai.
Thunivu Star Cast
Along with Ajith Kumar, who is playing the male lead in this much-hyped action entertainer, the film stars Malayalam actress Manju Warrier in the female lead role. Thunivu marks the second Tamil film of the actress’s career after the Dhanush led Asuran (2019). Reportedly, the film also stars Veera, Samuthirakani, GM Sundar, John Kokken and Ajay in crucial roles.
