Initially, a popular production house was said to be bankrolling 'AK 64'. But some companies backed out when Ajith asked for a salary of Rs. 200 crore. Following this, Rahul, who distributed some films of Ajith, came on as the producer as per Asianet. There was doubt as to how he would pay a Rs 200 crore salary for Ajith. That's where a twist happened, Rahul has signed a new contract with Ajith, and it's no salary deal for the actor.
