Ajith Refers Racer Narain Karthikeyan's Name for Vikram's '10 Enradhukulla'

Recently, "10 Enradhukulla" stunt choreographer Lee Whittaker posted a selfie with Narain Karthikeyan and the film's director Vijay Milton.

"Hanging with #narainkarthikeyan & #vijaymilton discussing cars for action #10Enrathukulla," Whittaker poster on his Twitter handle.

The picture led to rumours that the Formula One racer is also acting in the film. However, the director has clarified that Narain is not acting in the film, and said that the car racer gave suggestions on an action sequence that involves car racing. Interestingly, it is Thala Ajith who has suggested Narain's name to the stuntman Lee Whittaker.

The director stated that the film's team needed an expert advice on a stunt sequence involving a car in the film. Whittaker, who had worked with Ajith in "Arrambam", contacted the actor to get his suggestions on the scene. Thala immediately referred Narain's name, citing that the racer can help the team better than him, reported the Times of India.

Following Ajith's reference, Narain also agreed to help the team and gave his inputs regarding the scene. Based on the suggestions given by the racer, the director is planning to shoot the scene with Vikram, the daily reported.

"10 Enradhukulla" is a road thriller film with Vikram-Samantha playing the lead roles. The "Kaththi" actress will reportedly be seen in a dual role in the film, which also has Pasupathy, Jackie Shroff and Manobala in pivotal roles.

The film's shooting is underway in Coimbatore and is expected to be wrapped up soon. There are big expectations for the film as Vikram has teamed up with director Vijay for the first time. The director's last release "Goli Soda" was critically-acclaimed and commercially successful. Fans of the actor-director duo will be hoping that "10 Enradhukulla" performs well at the box office.

Director Vijay cranks the camera as well, while the film's music is composed by Imman. AR Murugadoss Productions and Fox Star Studios are jointly producing the film. The road thriller is expected to hit the screens in January 2015.

Meanwhile, Vikram is awaiting the release of his magnum opus "I". The Shankar directorial was expected to release for Diwali, but its post-production work has reportedly delayed it. The latest we hear is that the romantic action thriller will be releasing for Christmas, but an official announcement regarding the release date is still awaited.

Produced by Aascar Ravichandran, "I" has Vikram sporting different looks in the film. Amy Jackson, Suresh Gopi and Upen Patel are also part of the big budget entertainer. The film's music is composed by AR Rahman and cinematography is handled by PC Sreeram.
