Ajith or the better known ‘Thalai’ of Kollywood started his film career on a promising note with the movie Amaravathi directed by Selvaa. Right after this film he was laid up for nearly 17 months because of a near fatal accident due to his passion for bike racing.

His chocolate boy looks and simple but effective acting style helped him to build back his credibility in the industry slowly, but surely.

He entered the hallowed portals of super stardom with films like Vaali, Citizen, Red, Villan etc.

As the industry watched with disbelief, he threw it all up once more, to indulge his passion in racing, this time round with formula 3 cars. Though he did well in the U.K., lack of sponsorship made him give it up, hopefully, for good.

He made a second or is it third successful comeback with AVM’s Thirupathi and the movie Paramasivan co-starring Laila. Ajith’s Deepavali 2006 release Varalaaru went on to become a super duper hit, with Asin and Kanika as his leading ladies. It was directed by K.S.Ravi Kumar.

Yet another hurdle has cropped up in the form of a mishap at the shooting spot in Hyderabad for his tamil film Kireedom, starring Trisha and produced by veteran film maker K.Balaji. Ajith is supposed to have performed a stunt, going against not only the request of the stunt director but also the orders of doctors who had done his previous surgeries.

This has again aggravated his old problems and he has been admitted at a private hospital in Chennai. So coming back to the question, is Thala Ajith accident prone or fool hardy!!!

All said and done, his passion for cars is quite undiminished as he has apparently placed an order for a Limousine, at an exhibition organized at the Chennai trade centre before his injury.

We will probably seem him in his Swanky new car at the launch of his forthcoming film Billa.
