found its fullest expression on the race track.

he saw acting in films as a means to pay off his debts. Poornachandra
Rao of Lakshmi Production Company introduced Ajith

Aasai, did he think seriously of acting as a career.
Just before the release of his first film, a bike accident rendered
him bedridden for one and half years. Though he had to give up his
number one passion - motor racing, his fighting spirit helped him
make it big in his film career.
Then followed Kaathal Koattai, after which a spate of
five flops. But he made a stupendous comeback with Vaali. His
