Ajith prefers Gautham to Aamir Khan

Ajith’s next venture is for Gautham Menon, it has now been announced officially. This film will be produced by Sivaji Films and will commence in October, said Prabhu. In all probability, Sameera Reddy could be roped in to play the female lead.

In the meantime, Ajith had an offer that no actor would have refused. But
being the perfectionist that he is, Ajith is said to have turned it down. It was to star in the remake of one of the most critically acclaimed movie of the year – Taare Zameen Par. Aamir Khan is said to have pointed his finger towards Ajith when production house Moser Baer informed him that they would like to remake it in Tamil. But Ajith politely turned it down, stating that Aamir had lived the character whereas he could only act; consequently, the essence of the film would be lost.

Initially, director-turned-actor Cheran was to have directed this film, but with Ajith’s refusal, Cheran has decided to don the grease paint himself.
