    There is a reason they call him the King of openings. Every film buff in Kollytown will agree that after Rajini and Kamal Haasan , the box office records speak hugely in favor of Ajith. His debonair personality and a willful attitude have one him a million fans world over.

    It’s been 20 years for Ajith in Kollywood as of August 3, 2012 and time has got the best out of him. Starting with hits like Vaali, Mugavari , Dheena , Villain, Varalaru , Billa he enjoys a top spot in Kollywood, running into his early 40’s. His Mankatha turned out to be 2011’s biggest blockbuster release, so much so, that the film was re-run at the fag end of the year, due to lack of decent crowd pullers at the halls.

    Ajith has always considered his family (wife Shalini and baby Anushka) first and unlike his contemporaries doesn’t believe in pompous display or marketing gimmicks. He had boldly gone ahead and called off his fan associations and clubs, something no top Kollywood actor dares to do. For that matter, he seldom attends audio launches of his own films and believes that his fans paying tickets and coming to the halls, is more than enough. Now running Billa 2, scripted another success story for Ajith, becoming the top grosser at the Malaysian box office, standing over Shankar-Vijay’s blockbuster hit Nanban. Enjoying a growing fan base globally, along with all his fans we wish Ajith a happy 20 years. May the coming years be golden as ever.Thala Thala Thaan !

    Early Days in Career

    Ajith started his film career at the age of 21 as an actor Telugu movie Prema Pustagam in 1992.. His next film was in Tamil entitled Amaravathi for which he was paid a token salary of Rs.390. His second Tamil film Pavithra was delayed for 17 months because of a racing injury that left him bed-ridden. Both films received appreciation from the Tamil audience. It was his third Tamil film that released 10 months later in 1995, Aasai, directed by Vasanthan and produced by Mani Rathnam which helped to establish his career as a teen icon in Kollywood. Ajith’s first big budget venture Aasai but only after Agathiyan’s Vaanmathi and particularly the National Award winning Kadhal Kottai established him as an accomplished actor in Kollywood. Ajith later played in Amitabh Bachchan’s debut Tamil production in Ullasam. This venture paid him a salary of over Rs.1 million for the first time ever.

    A string of successful movies followed, most notably Kadhal Mannan and Aval Varuvala and the multiple award winning Vaali which cast him alongside Simran. Vaali saw a new peak in Ajith’s career. He played a dual role in the film as a deaf-and-dumb twin who lusts after his naive brother’s wife
