There appears to be a change in the casting plans for Ajith Kumar’s upcoming film Daredevil. According to the latest industry buzz, the makers are now said to be looking at another star for a key role that was earlier linked to Malayalam superstar Mohanlal.

The development is reportedly connected to the film’s shooting plans. Daredevil, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, is expected to begin its shoot towards the end of September, and the team is said to be planning an extended schedule to complete the film in one stretch, depending on Ajith’s dates and availability.

This appears to have led the team to reconsider the casting of the senior star. While Mohanlal’s name has been doing the rounds for the project for some time, there has been no official announcement confirming his presence in Daredevil. The latest gossip suggests that the makers are now searching for another prominent actor who can commit to the required schedule.

The film is also an important project for Ajith on the production front. He is said to be backing Daredevil under his own banner, with the project marking his entry into film production. With Ajith taking on both the lead role and the responsibility of production, the team is reportedly trying to plan the shoot around his tightly packed schedule.
