The were speculations that AR Rahman will compose music for Ajith starrer Thala 60 after many years. AR Rahman, however, rubbished the rumours.

After composing music for Bigil, AR Rahman is currently busy working on Thalaivan Irukkindran with Kamal Haasan and Vikram’s 58th film with Ajay Gnanamuthu. Hence, the composer might not have time to take more project.
It is to be noted that Thala 60 would be Boney Kapoor and Ajith’s second collaboration after Nerkonda Paarvai. Speaking about their sudden reunion, Boney Kapoor told DNA, “I got to know him closely during the shoot of our Tamil film Nerkonda Paarvai. I was pleasantly surprised to know about his passion for racing and other sports. It was only natural that our next project together is a thriller that uses his passion for speed. I would love to have him in a Hindi film with an action backdrop.”
On the work front, Ajith is currently taking part in Tamil Nadu’s rifle shooting championship. It is said that he has qualified for the national level competition which will take place in December.
