Gautham Menon signs Ajith for his next film

Southern filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, who recently had to shelve Tamil thriller "Dhruva Natchathiram" with Suriya Sivakumar, has signed a mega budget yet-untitled project in the same language with Ajith Kumar.

"Ajith has signed Gautham's film, which is a high-budget project. The film will be produced by Sri Satya Sai Movies and will go on floors from Feb 2014. Other details about the cast and crew are yet to be finalised," said a statement from the production house.

Gautham had recently started shooting for "Dhruva Natchathiram", but it had to be called off following some differences with Suriya.

Meanwhile, Ajith's Tamil action-thriller "Arrambam" is slated to release Oct 31. He is also currently working on Tamil rural drama "Veeram".
