Ajith Kumar v.s Vijay [Biography included]

[Vinoth]

Ajith Kumar (born May 1, 1971 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India) is a popular Tamil actor and a race car driver. He is known in his fanbase as Thala (Leader) and titled onscreen as Ultimate Star

Ajith started his film career at the age of 21 in a Telugu movie Prema Pustagam in 1992. The movie proved to be successful and he won the Best New Face Award for it, establishing him as an actor. Two other successful movies followed in Tamil Amaravathi and Pavithra, which was delayed for 17 months because of an injury that left him bed-ridden. Both fetched him several awards from the media.

Aasai, directed by Vasanth followed in 1995 which proved to be immensely successful at the box office. After Agathiyan's Vaanmathi and particularly the National Award winning blockbuster Kadhal Kottai, he came to be regarded as the superstar of the new generation. He played in Amitabh Bachchan's debut Tamil production alongside Vikram in Ullasam, and a string of successful movies followed, most notably Aval Varuvala and the award-winning blockbuster Vaali which cast him alongside Simran . After Amarkalam (1999), he set up his own distribution company AK International.


Throughout the Nineties, he was seen in many successful movies in guest appearances and was later cast alongside Mammooty and Aishwarya Rai in Kandukondain Kandukondain and played a supporting role in Shahrukh Khan's Asoka. Almost all his movies have been dubbed or remade into Telugu


Noughts:
In the critically acclaimed melodrama Mugavari he played the role of an aspiring musician who sacrifices his love for the sake of his ambition and later sacrifices his ambition for the sake of his family.
At the age of 30, he went for a radical image makeover in the blockbusters Dheena, Citizen, Red and villain. For Villain, directed by KS Ravikumar, he won the South India Filmfare Best Actor Award. In late 2004, Ajith converted all his fanclubs into productive Narpani Eyakkams headquartered in Chennai.
Though his comeback movie Attagasam was successful, Ji's mediocre perfomance cost him dear and he was forced to cut down his salary. But after the quick successes of Paramasivan and Thirupathi in early 2006, his salary has again begun to rise. Due to his massive fanbase, his movies take a consistently above-par screen average. This prompted the trade to call him the King of Opening

Personal life:
Ajith is the middle son of three children, born to a Sindhi mother and Malayalee father. Ajith dropped out of school in 1986 to become a part-time 2/4-wheeler mechanic and full-time garment exporter based in Erode till 1990. Business exigencies pushed him into modelling for adverts in print media which eventually paved the way into Tollywood and later Kollywood. After his surgery for a broken vertebra he lost feeling in his legs, but he vowed to recover and walked all the way from his home in Madras to the Balaji shrine in Tirupathi in Andhra Pradesh. He shed 20 kilos in severe diet and fitness sessions within 40 days for Paramasivan. He was romantically linked to fellow actress Heera and met future wife Shalini on the sets of Amarkalam in 1999. He is an ambassador for the Green Revolution, an effort to clean up the Chennai environment and encouraging people to plant saplings. He uses his films for subtle marketing of his ideas in this regard. He is often compared with the late legend MGR for his kindness and self-confidence
