Every year, the beginning of the month of May marks the middle period of scorching summer in Tamilnadu. But it is a day of frenzied celebrations for tens of thousands of Ajith fans spread across the state, for May 1, marks the birthday of their icon coinciding with the World Labour day.

Ajith Kumar whose acting career is marching close to two decades, is one of the actors who has gained respect even outside his fan base. His professional as well as personal life are characterized by hard work, dedication, self confidence, magnanimity, genuineness and straight forwardness.

Ajith has faced controversies at crucial stage of his career for being candid in his views but has remained openhearted till date. He has never tried to cover up the box office failure of his films. Still he is the actor who commands one of the biggest opening collections in Tamil cinema and he is also addressed as the ‘King of opening’ by industry insiders.

Ajith who started his acting career with un-credited roles and as a supporting actor in films, has reached this status by sheer hard work and sincerity to his profession despite a number of physical injuries. Even recently the actor got severely injured in his leg while shooting a risky stunt sequence in his recent super hit film ‘Arrambam’. The actor has postponed the surgery required to cure that injury and has delivered another super hit in ‘Veeram’ and has started working on his next film directed by Gautham Menon.

Ajith proved his guts by taking up a pure negative role in his 50th film ‘Mankatha’. Not many actors having mass fan following would accept such a role which requires one to booze a lot, roam with girls, cheat his beloved and even kill his partner for the sole motive of earning money. As an added feather Ajith’s appeared in salt and pepper looks in this film and made it a new style statement. He has also announced his decision to appear in his natural hair-do in all of his upcoming films and he has acted in most of his films sans make-up.

Aren’t these enough to cite as evidence for the actor’s illustrious personal traits mentioned above?

Ajith fans are in an all time high as the actor’s union with Gautham Vasudev Menon, the director of most stylish flicks of Tamil Cinema has finally materialized after many hiccups. The untitled film in which Ajith has paired up with Anushka is progressing rapidly in Chennai. Not only the fans but also the general audiences are expecting this film produced by A.M.Ratnam.

The celebrations for Ajith’s birthday this year will precede his 55th film that would come as a treat to his fans.

Indiaglitz extends its hearty birthday wishes and lot more films to glorify the acting career of one of the most admired actors of our times.
