Ajith who announced that six months of a year will be earmarked for car racing has now announced that he is putting his passion for this sport in the back burner, He said his involvement with car racing was misunderstood by many. Many felt that he was not involved in his career. " If I was interested in racing and not films then what happened to the producer and the director. Were they too involved with racing? A film's flop is entirely placed on my shoulders. Anyway I am going to retain my slot and till then I am not going to go for races " stated Ajith. In Mirratal Ajith's introductory shot shows him flying an aircraft and landing in Chennai. He plays a rich guy. The film is directed by Murgadas (Ramana fame)

He is currently shooting for Ji directed by Linguswamy. He was in Kumbakonam when he heard about the tragedy. He rushed to the spot and asked his fans to donate liberally to help the victim's families. Ajith recently suffered minor injuries in the shooting of Ji. After Ji he will start work on Attagahasam directed by Sharan with Pooja as heroine.
