Teachers' Day is celebrated every year on 5th September in India commemorating the birthday of former President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Several celebrities from the Tamil film industry are paying tributes to their respective teachers on social media.

Popular actor John Kokken has called superstar Ajith Kumar as his mentor and wrote on X "God couldn’t be everywhere so he gave us teachers, someone to guide us in the right direction so that we may grow in life. Thank you Ajith Kumar Sir for being that guiding light not just for me but for millions. Thank you for coming into my life and making my life better"

John Kokken also shared a pic of Ajith from the movie 'Yennai Arindhaal' directed by Gautham Menon in which he shared screen space with the mass hero. He also played one of the villains in Ajith's 'Thunivu' as well. The 42 year old actor who became a father recently is looking forward to the release of Dhanush's 'Captain Miller' directed by Arun Matheswaran in which he is playing a major character.

Ajith Kumar is currently gearing up to shoot his next movie 'Vidaamuyarchi' directed by Magizh Thirumeni and produced by Lyca Productions. The film has music by Anirudh and is said to star Trisha Krishnan and Tamannaah Bhatia as the female leads.
