Ajith to romance on screen again

Tamil actor Ajith Kumar, who hasn't romanced on screen or even danced to a duet in his last three films, will put on his dancing shoes and groove to a folk as well as romantic number with co-star Tamannah Bhatia in his upcoming Tamil action drama "Veeram".

"He will be seen in a mass-appealing avatar in 'Veeram'. We are bringing forth a side of the actor that his fans haven't seen in a long time. He will dance to romantic numbers with Tamannah, romance her on screen and also match steps to a fast-paced folk number," the film's director Siva, told IANS.

Ajith's last three releases were action flicks "Mankatha", "Billa 2" and "Arrambam". He played a suave urban character in all these films.

"Unlike his last few films, Ajith will be completely seen as a dhoti-clad character and boast a rural look throughout the film," he added.

"Veeram" slated to release Jan 10, 2014, also features Avinash, Vidharth, Suhail Chandhok, Pradeep Rawat, Vidyullekha Raman and Manochitra in important roles.
