He might have dropped the ‘Ultimate Star’ tag, but that needn’t stop him from providing ultimate entertainment to his fans.
Known as the Ultimate Star for so long, Ajith recently sought to drop the title. “Sometimes, things are thrust upon you and you have no option but to accept them. But today, I’m at a point where I can decide how things should be,” reasons the star.
His upcoming movie, Aasal, has proved to be quite an experience for the actor — not just because he was involved in it as an actor, but also as a co-director. He has written scenes and has been credited for his work in the film. “It’ll be quite a package. There are no narcissistic scenes in the film. The film’s not just about me; it’s about others, too,” says Ajith.
Does the decision to co-direct arise from the fact that director Saran’s previous venture, Modhi Vilayadu, received a lukewarm response at the box office? “I’ve never worked with a director keeping his past records in mind. Most of my directors, like AR Murugadoss and SJ Suryah, were relatively new when I first worked with them,” replies Ajith.
He hopes that Aasal will be a trendsetter of sorts. “It should dictate the quality of films that’ll hit screens in the next five years,” he says.
Ajith’s look in Aasal is a hot topic of discussion even now. “We wanted to emphasise that the hero is fashion-conscious,” he says, adding, “Since we shot in Paris — the fashion capital of the world — the look had to match that.
”
But what about his latest look, without the mohawk and the ‘different’ moustache? Is it for his upcoming film with Gautham Menon? “No,” he clarifies, “I just went to a barber and asked him to remove both as I was tired of the look. I’m looking forward to working with Gautham, but would rather have the producers make an official announcement.”
