Happy Birthday Ajith Kumar: 7 roles of ‘Thala’ that proved that he is versatile star

The ‘Thala’ of Tamil cinema turns 45 on May 1 and it has been a long, arduous journey for the self-made star. Starting out as a supporting actor, Ajith Kumar rose to the top, charting his own success graph. His on-screen rival, Vijay might have more hits that Ajith, but in terms of mass appeal, the charismatic Ajith stands toe to toe with the best in the business. There are many who believe that he is Superstar Rajinkanth’s heir apparent.

In Tamil Nadu atleast, what you do off-screen plays a very big part of an actor’s stardom. Rajnikanth, whose simplicity and humility is something that everyone who has worked with him has vouched for. Ajith is not too far behind there. Even his large legion of fans have come out of a meeting with their favourite star feeling valued, and that has only added to his star value over the years.Ajith maintains that he is actor by chance. At an age where most kids meander along, nodding to every little thing their parents and friends feed them, a 15-year-old decided to drop out of school and become a mechanic. For a kid from an upper middle class background, this is unheard of, but Ajith never belonged to a heard.
