Barely a few months old, fans have already christened him Kutty Thala. And he is none other than Ajith’s toddler Aadvik, whose first photographs are out.

The pictures were captured at the Chennai Passport Office, where Ajith and his family were spotted completing some formalities for their vacation to London.

Lingusamy to direct Kamal Haasan

If rumors are to be believed, director Lingusamy may direct Kamal Haasan.

Sources claim that the director is working round the clock to complete the script as soon as possible.

The duo had previously worked in 2015's Uttama Villain, which was also co-produced by them.

Despite the positive reviews, the film failed to set cash registers ringing at the box office.

The new film will be jointly produced by Lingusamy's Thirupathi Brothers and Pen Movies.
