One of Ajith’s favorite directors Vishnuvardhan is all set to direct Ajith again. Good news for music lovers is – this soon-to-be-titled venture will have music by Vishnu’s lucky mascot, Yuvan.
While there were reports in some circles of the media that Yuvan might not be doing the music for this Vishnuvardhan film, the director has quashed all such news as baseless rumors and re-confirmed that the film will have music by Yuvan.
The director is also believed to have revealed recently that all his films with Yuvan’s music have always become popular because he neither intervenes with the musician’s tunes nor gives him ideas.
It was this trio that rocked in ‘Billa’ (2007), and now they are coming together for another film, to repeat history all over again!

Whatever it may be, we can be assured of one slick entertainer featuring Ajith with Yuvan’s music.
