Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar is gearing up to release his next film in 2026. After rumors of his retirement from acting due to his increasing involvement in car racing, Ajith has confirmed that he will start shooting for his new project in November.
Balancing acting and racing
In an interview with The Indian Express, Ajith discussed how he plans to balance his two passions – cinema and motorsport. He revealed that his racing season in Europe typically runs from March to October, with a one-off race in Dubai in January. Ajith plans to release one film every year, focusing on his racing program while filming between November and February. He expects his new project to hit theaters around April or May 2026.
Ajith expressed gratitude to the producers and directors he’s worked with, saying he feels fortunate to collaborate with those who understand his goals and support him.
Recent success at the box office
Ajith’s last film, Good Bad Ugly, was a commercial success. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the movie featured Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, and Priya Bhavani Shankar, among others.
