Ajith's "Amarkalam" Re-release

Ajith's 1999-hit "Amarkalam" is all set to be re-released once again. The digitally-restored film was initially slated to hit theatres on 1 May as a special birthday treat for Ajith fans. However, the film missed the date due to unspecified reasons.

Now, reports are suggesting that the Ajith starrer will be re-released on 16 May. A few single screens in Chennai including Anna, Agastya and Srinivasa have scheduled to screen the film, reported Behindwoods.

"Amarkalam" is one of the most important films in Ajith's career, as it established him as a mass action hero. The commercial entertainer, directed by Saran, has Shalini, Nassar and late actor Raghuvaran in pivotal roles.
