The latest rumour doing the rounds in Kollywood is that 'Thala' Ajith has replaced Vikram in '24', to be directed by Yaavarum Nalam fame Vikram K Kumar.

The director and Vikram have fallen out over some issue and the latter has gone to Ladakh to shoot for Selvaraghavan's next film, say unconfirmed reports.

The producer of '24', Mohan Natrajan, was upset at this development and he sent an SOS to Ajith, who starred in his 'Aazhwar'. The film was an average grosser and so Ajith had promised Natrajan that he would do another film for the producer. When Natrajan requested his call sheet, Ajith immediately gave his consent, say reports.

Director Vikram K Kumar, when asked about this, denied it and said that Ileana will pair up with Vikram in the film.
