Ajith has always been a source of inspiration to budding actors. The 'Thala' is admired by a big list of young heroes, and it includes STR, Bharath, Jai and Premji among others. Joining the list is Anbu, son of Mayilsamy.

Anbu, who is donning the greasepaint for a film titled 'Parthom Pazhaginom' directed by Rasu Madhuravan, says, "I recently met Ajith sir along with my dad. He had some nice and encouraging words for me."

Adds Anbu: "Ajith sir, who said that I was handsome, also said that talent and dedication were the other two important factors to emerge triumphant in the film industry. These lines motivated me a lot and echoed in my ears."

On his debutant venture as hero, Anbu says, "Rasu Madhuravan is known for throwing light on human emotions. 'Parthom Pazhaginom' is one such story. The script is so strong and I have a meaty role to play."
