He had shown his 'Vishwaroopam' in 'Attagasam' and stunned everybody by giving a memorable performance in that movie he is now ready for next 'Diwali'.

The name of the mega cracker which will be shaped up in the ladu of K.S.Ravikumar, is 'God father'. Marlon Brando's Godfather and Siddque lal's Godfather had created histories in their respective languages.
Ajith's 'Godfather' in Tamil is the third one. K.S. had vowed to recreate the same kind of history in Tamil also.

The music for this film will be scored by A.R.Rehman, who had refused to score music to real VVIPs like Super star and Shankar. Camera will be handled by P.C.Sriram.

Thotta Tharani will look after the 'Art department'. Lyrics by Vairamuthu. Stunt by Kanal Kannan. This mega team is all set to get down to business. Today is going to be the 'D' day in which first shot of the movie will be taken.
April 14th is the releasing date. The other competing movies are Rajini's 'Chandramukhi' and Shankar's Anniyan. Ajith had vowed that he would get that Super star status yet. This is his direct challenge to the reigning super star.

The producer of this movie is none other than Nick arts Chakravarthy with whom Ajith had crossed swords some time back Ajith obviously is moving with a conviction it seems.

Manmadhan and Attagasam are the two movies which are way ahead of other films released in Diwali. At the same time both the films had struggled to get released due to similar financial problems.

'Manmadhan' had swallowed a whooping 8 crores. Because of this producer was crippled financially. He couldn't settle the agreed amount to many people connected with the Unit. The help came in the form of Vijaya T.Rajender. He arranged Rs 1 ½ crores immediately and bailed out the movie.

Same was the case of Attagasam. The producer Karthikeyan could not settle the money from Technicians to the Hero Ajith.


The affected people had decided to stop the movie from releasing. The Hero of the film heard about this, pooled all his resources in a very short time, and gave Rs. 1 ½ crores. This money was used to settle the dues.

Though both the films are of different kind, the problems, that affected them was same. There was doubt at the last moment whether these two films will get released at all. But then both the films got released after spending the same amount by respective parties, and the fact that two films are doing a roaring business is also to be noted here.
