Ajith Kumar shares thoughts on racing films in India; says, "Maybe Fast and Furious or F1 sequel"
Apart from being one of Tamil cinema's most bankable stars, Ajith Kumar is also a known motorsport enthusiast who continues to balance his passion for acting and racing. Recently, ahead of a racing event, the superstar was seen interacting with a reporter, where he shared his thoughts on a racing based film made in India.
Open to a Fast & Furious-type role
As seen in a post shared by Laxmi Kanth on X (formerly Twitter) during the interaction, the reporter asked Ajith if he would be interested in starring in a film based on racing, especially with the genre gaining global popularity thanks to franchises like 'Fast & Furious' and the increasing presence of Formula 1 in entertainment circles. Responding to it, Ajith said, "I guess maybe Fast and Furious sequel.. or F1 sequel.. I normally perform my own stunts in the film.. So if there's a calling why not."
While nothing official has been announced, the idea of a race-based Indian film with Ajith in the lead certainly holds potential, especially at a time when pan-India projects are embracing new genres and stories rooted in global appeal.
After a hiatus, he made a strong comeback in 2025 by launching his own racing team, Ajith Kumar Racing , and competing in prestigious events like the Michelin 24H Dubai and the GT4 European Series.
What's next for Ajith Kumar?
On the acting front, Ajith Kumar is currently in his motorsport season and is reportedly in discussions to begin work on his next film, tentatively titled 'AK64'. The project is expected to be helmed by Mark Antony director Adhik Ravichandran , marking their second collaboration after their last film 'Good Bad Ugly'.
Ajith has previously stated that he will take on his next film project during the racing off-season, which likely means shooting will begin in late 2025, with a potential release in early 2026.
