Director Adhik Ravichandran reacts to too much of Ajith’s old movie references in ‘Good Bad Ugly’; Promises a mass entertainer | Tamil Movie News
Ajith Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Good Bad Ugly‘, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, is gearing up for a grand release on April 10, 2025. Ahead of the release, director Adhik opened up about the creative choices made in the film, particularly the intentional use of references to Ajith’s previous blockbusters. In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, he explained that these nods were added as a tribute to Ajith’s legacy, and that they would strike a chord with long-time fans of the actor.
Mass appeal meets fan service in clever dialogue writing
Adhik Ravichandran elaborated that Tamil-speaking audiences would instantly catch these callbacks through specific lines and moments, while for viewers outside Tamil Nadu, they would simply feel like impactful, mass-appeal dialogues. “Even if you don’t know Ajith sir’s older films, you’ll enjoy the punch of these lines,” he said. This dual-layered writing, according to him, makes the film accessible to both die-hard fans and newcomers alike, adding emotional value for some and entertainment for others.
Trailer creates buzz with iconic moments and emotional callbacks
The recently released trailer has already generated a buzz for its blend of nostalgia and adrenaline, with many scenes subtly paying homage to Ajith’s iconic moments over the years. Being a hardcore Ajith fan himself, Adhik seems to have poured his admiration into the screenplay, making ‘Good Bad Ugly’ not just a film, but a celebration of Ajith’s film journey.
Action-comedy plot packs emotion, power, and star-studded cast
The plot revolves around an aging gangster who has chosen a quiet family life with his wife and son. However, when his past catches up with him and his son’s life is put in danger, he’s forced to return to his violent roots. Alongside Ajith, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Trisha, Prabhu, Arjun Das, Prasanna, Sunil, Yogi Babu, Jackie Shroff, and Priya Prakash Varrier, promising an intense and entertaining cinematic ride.
