Mohanlal Exits Ajith's 'Dare Devil' Over Pay Dispute

Ajith Kumar's highly anticipated film, tentatively titled 'Dare Devil,' is facing a significant casting revision, as Malayalam actor Mohanlal has reportedly departed from the project. This development comes as the film moves closer to its production phase, which is expected to commence in September 2026. Initial reports indicated Mohanlal was considered for a supporting role opposite Ajith.

Valai Pechu reports suggest that remuneration disputes may have been the catalyst for Mohanlal's exit. While there has been no official statement from the involved parties, the news has fueled further speculation among fans. The film's production was previously delayed, but it is now slated to be the first venture produced by Shalini Ajithkumar, Ajith's wife.

Music composer Anirudh Ravichander is confirmed to be part of 'Dare Devil,' marking another collaboration with Ajith. Director Adhik Ravichandran has previously hinted that this film will be a family entertainer, diverging from the action-heavy themes of their previous work, 'Good Bad Ugly.' Fans eagerly await official announcements regarding the final cast and production timeline.
