While filming for Nerkonda Paarvai in early 2019, Adhik Ravichandran had met and narrated a script to Ajith Kumar, who agreed to act in the film but wanted to wait until the producers were finalised before making an announcement. [1] In the meantime, Ajith worked on Valimai (2021) and Thunivu (2023), while Adhik finished Bagheera and Mark Antony (both 2023). [2] [3] Following two years, Suresh Chandra, the actor's manager, confirmed that discussions were going on for Adhik to direct Ajith's 63rd film. [4] That November, he confirmed the project, tentatively titled AK63. [5] The project was funded by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar's Mythri Movie Makers, marking their first Tamil venture. [6] Chandra served as the co-producer. The company made a public announcement on 14 March 2024, confirming the project. [7] The film's official title, Good Bad Ugly, was revealed the same day. [8]
The film's title is a reference to the Clint Eastwood-starrer The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), marking Ajith's second film with a reference to the actor after his character in Thunivu was inspired by Eastwood's High Plains Drifter (1973). [9] Although the film's budget was not revealed, Ajith will reportedly receive a remuneration of ₹165 crores. [10] [11] Originally planned to be shot in the Tamil-language, Adhik stated that they are considering to also shoot significant portions of the film directly in Telugu as well. [12]
On 14 March 2024, Adhik was announced to have retained cinematographer Abinandhan Ramanujam, editor Vijay Velukutty, and costume designer Anu Vardhan. [13] Devi Sri Prasad was signed on to compose the music, marking his second film with Ajith after Veeram (2014). The stunt choreography would be handled by Supreme Sundar and Kaldian Vodenchardy. [14]
Ajith would reportedly play in a triple role; hence the title. Sreeleela was reported to have liked the film's script and signed it, in her Tamil film debut. [15] Tabu was reportedly cast as the female lead, pairing opposite Ajith, reuniting with the latter after Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000). S. J. Suryah was reported to play a prominent role, while Arvind Swamy will play the main antagonist. [16] In May 2024, Malayalam actor Naslen K. Gafoor was reportedly approached for a role, making his Tamil debut. [17] On 28 June, Sunil announced his inclusion in the film; collaborating with Adhik for the second time after Mark Antony. [18]
Principal photography was initially scheduled to begin in June 2024. [19] However, as the makers of Vidaa Muyarchi , including Ajith, were scheduled to leave to United Arab Emirates to shoot there in late May, [20] the first schedule instead began on 9 May at Sarathi Studios in Hyderabad. [21] [22] A fight sequence, choreographed by Supreme Sundar, was reportedly firstly filmed. [23] The first schedule ended by 9 June. [24]
The music and background score is composed by Devi Sri Prasad, in his maiden collaboration with Adhik; second with Ajith after Veeram . [25] [26] The audio rights were acquired by T-Series.[ citation needed ]
