Ajith Kumar is on a roll with his Billa being praised by one and all for its packaging and his performance as the notorious gangster essayed by the superstar in the original. He is now playing a good hubby to wife Shalini who is in the family way and is expecting their first child during January.

Ajith has decided to commence work on his next project under Raju Sundaram’s direction, earlier titled Akbar, after his familial commitments are over.

The director has decided to put this time in hand to good use by hunting for the leading ladies to be cast opposite Ajith. The script, he says, demands two heroines and one of them will be played by Suhani. The hunt for the other heroine has been going on for quite some time now. First it was Shriya who was touted to play the role, which slipped out due to lack of dates. Then Parvathi Melton was rumored to be his heroine, the latest to hit the news is that Raju Sundaram is in talks with Katrina Kaif and sources close to the director say that she has indeed consented. It sure will be a treat for fans to see their Thala opposite this bombshell from Mumbai.
