Ajith Kumar’s upcoming action entertainer Dare Devil is drawing attention over reports of a major casting change, with Unni Mukundan now said to be in consideration for an important role that was earlier linked to Mohanlal. The film is being directed by Adhik Ravichandran and is expected to bring together several prominent South Indian stars.

Unni Mukundan Reportedly Joins Dare Devil
According to current reports, Unni Mukundan may be part of Dare Devil in a key role. The same character was earlier associated with Mohanlal, but there has been no official confirmation about either casting development so far. If Unni Mukundan comes on board, the film would mark his first on-screen collaboration with Ajith Kumar. The possible casting has already created curiosity among fans, especially because the project is being designed as a large-scale action entertainer.

Kichcha Sudeep and Upendra Also in Talks
The makers are reportedly looking at a strong multi-star cast for the film. Kannada stars Kichcha Sudeep and Upendra are also said to have been approached for important roles. Their inclusion, if finalised, would significantly expand the film’s pan-South appeal and add further weight to its ensemble. Kayadu Lohar is also reportedly being considered for the female lead, although the production team has not yet made a formal announcement regarding the principal cast.

Adhik Ravichandran Directs Ajith’s New Action Film
Dare Devil is being directed by Adhik Ravichandran, who is expected to present Ajith Kumar in a mass-oriented action role. Shalini Ajithkumar is reportedly backing the project as producer, while Anirudh Ravichander is expected to compose the music. The combination of Ajith, Adhik and Anirudh has already raised expectations, with fans anticipating a stylish action film backed by high-energy music and a large ensemble cast.

Shoot Planned for November 2026
The film is expected to begin production in November 2026, with the makers reportedly targeting a theatrical release in 2027. With several casting discussions still underway, the final line-up is likely to become clearer closer to the start of shooting. Until official announcements are made, the reported involvement of Unni Mukundan, Kichcha Sudeep, Upendra and Kayadu Lohar remains unconfirmed. Even so, Dare Devil is shaping up as one of Ajith Kumar’s most closely watched upcoming projects.
