Here’s everything you need to about Thala Ajith’s voguish success:

Nov 14, 2019, 12:55 IST

Ajith may be a superstar now but he was considered an ‘outsider’ when he initially joined the Tamil film industry.

His first hit was Aasai in 1995, five years after he made his acting debut.

Ajith has acted in over 50 films in his entire career establishing himself with successes like Ullsam, Vaali, and Amarkalam.

It was AR Murugadoss’ Dheena while gave Ajith the nickname ‘Thala’ and turned him into a mass hero.

He’s also known for his philanthropic activities. He’s popular because he refuses to advertise his efforts. Not directly, anyway.

Another key factor of Ajith’s popularity are his varied interests. The actor look two years off from acting to become a professional race car driver and is known to dabble in photography.

Ajith’s popularity was further bolstered by his rivalry against leading Kollywood actor, Vijay — a feud that’s been going on for nearly two decades.

The rivalry between the two took root when Vijay called one the bad guys in Geethai, Thala. Ajith remained quiet and Vijay issued a clarification.

But tensions continued to grow between the two with Ajith’s diss-tack in Attahasam calling out Vijay. Vijay retaliated by mocking Ajith in one of Sachin’s songs.

Even though actors haven’t publicly acknowledged the feud of late, their fans continue to fight on the actors’ behalf — including viral death hoaxes on social media.

Bucking the trend that most Tollywood actors follow, Ajith currently has no plans to join politics — directly or indirectly — even though he expressed interest in 2010.
