When he was considered down and out after a series of flops, Ajith did not lose hope.

When producer Khaja Mohideen pointed fingers at him for taking the extreme step, Ajith again kept a dignified silence.

Now it is pay back time for Ajith. And he hopes to do it through his films.

As a major shot in the arm has come AVM's announcement to do their 167th film starring Ajith in the lead role.

Meanwhile, the actor has silently commenced a new film following Godfather directed by Ravikumar. The new movie titled Paramasivan to be directed by P Vasu hit the floors on Saturday.

A low-key affair, the movie's muhurat went off smoothly. The movie was initially titled Idi, but has now been changed Paramasivan.

Ajith has Laila for company and Vidyasagar has been roped into score music for the movie. The big news is: Ajith is back very strongly.
