Thala Ajith who has the most enviable fan following in South Indian cinema is himself a fan of Superstar Rajinikanth which fact he has shared in interviews given in his early days.  Whenever the two iconic stars meet their bonding is any lensman's delight and one of the most shared videos is Rajini clapping his hands for Ajith when he boldly spoke against the DMK to Chief Minister Karunanidhi directly in a public function.

Now Kollywood is in a frenzy as news is making the rounds that Ajith recently called Rajini and spoke to him for close to thirty minutes.  It is reported that Ajith congratulated the legend on completing 45 years in cinema.  Rajini then is said to have shared about his health, politics, and upcoming movies and enquired the same from the younger mass hero.

When we contacted sources close to Ajith we were informed that it is a mere rumour and no such phone conversation happened in the recent past.

In 2019 Rajini's 'Petta' and Ajith's 'Viswasam' locked horns on Pongal Day and both films emerged winners with the latter dominating in the domestic market and the former in all other territories.

There is also talk that Ajith's 'Valimai' directed by H. Vinod and Rajini's 'Annaathe' directed by Siruthai Siva could also clash in 2021 but both the films will resume shooting only after the coronavirus fades away.
