Ajith Fans Club

Ajith’s latest offering Aalwar has many surprises to unveil, sources say. The most evident of them all is Ajith’s looks we can vouch. Ajith’s personal nutrition consultant – Shalini? – seemed to have put him under a strict diet regime to rejuvenate his looks giving him a complete makeover.

The looks that Ajith sport now is that of the young and handsome lad whose business is to make the girls fall flat on their nose. If you felt that is the kind of looks he had when he stepped into the industry, you are perfectly right. He is back to his days of Vali, Kadal Kottai and Amarkalam. If you may well remember, he had to face brickbats for his looks – if not for the movie – in Tirupathi.

Recently shots of Ajith practicing jogging have been canned in Besant Nagar beach for 5 days. His fans cheered him up after witnessing their re-energized star performing briskly than ever. We wish him all luck for Aalwar.

Apart from the lights and crackers, Diwali is also a day of grand releases in cinema. Irrespective of the movie’s run at the box office, the producers make their money with the fantastic opening weekend collections that have attained mammoth proportions. This year close to 10 movies are expected to release on the Diwali day, October 21. Prominent movies of frontline heroes are being released this Diwali and producers are in a rat race to get a hold of the best theatres in the city for the releases. Under these circumstances, lack of theatres may pose a threat to the releases of some of the movies.   

Unakkum Enakkum, VV, Em Magan, Thimiru, Lage Raho Munnabhai are the movies that register good collections at the box office and are running full houses weeks after their release. Will the theatre operators be ready to wind up those movies – which are making good business - for the sake of new releases is a question to be answered.

Besides, Chennai has 74 theatres and only a handful qualify to host the release of the big stars’ movies. Only very few theatres boast to have the DTS facility and there is stiff competition to acquire those theatres for the new releases.

Not being able to find good theatres to release films can seriously affect the opening collections, which can more or less seal the fate of the movie.

Movies like Godfather – which has Ajit in the lead in 3 roles and is renamed as Varalaru, Vallavan that has Simbu in the lead, Dharmapuri with Vijayakanth, E with Jeeva, Thirumagan with Sarathkumar, Vathiyar, Vattaram, and Thalaimagan are the ones that have created huge expectations and are gearing up for the Diwali release race. Among these Godfather and Vallavan are the frontrunners and have already gained favor with distributors and exhibitors. Most of the top theatres in the state have already charted either of these two films for Diwali.

On the other hand, Diwali is also the time during which the Income Tax department spurs into action. The IT dept. is known to make raids on the houses of film personalities during Diwali season hoping to find something big. Film personalities are getting ready for these raids by alerting their accountants to keep all the accounts in the right shape, fit for scrutiny by the IT officers.

Ajith is ready to rock, once again. The old suave and debonair look sits perfectly in place of the scrawny look with the right combination of weight and height. He is gleaming with inner strength, everything for Aalwar. Ajith takes the help of Omar Mukthar who says that ‘birth is signified by eyes opening and death by closing’ to convey his feelings. He is one person who believes that every day is a new day. He is very positive when he says that he would never ever fall again and would not let himself to fall.

Debutant director Chella is awed by Ajith. He is highly satisfied with the cooperation rendered by Ajith despite him being a rookie.
He recalls that Ajith exactly reflects his thought while performing in the sets resulting in a perfect shot. Though Ajith has a good standing in the industry, he did not let that interfere in Chella directing him. Chella fees indebted to him and expects to demonstrate his gratitude by giving Ajith a memorable hit for Aalwar.

Talking about the role that Ajith would be assaying in the film, he says it is the role of a ward boy in a hospital, which Ajith has never before done in his career. According to Chella anybody who is working in a hospital is like a mother as they cater to the needs of the inmates with care and kindness just like a mother. A small incident in the hospital sparks a violent change in the otherwise compassionate and sensitive Ajith who is totally metamorphosed after that. Though the movie may not be a milestone or a turning point in Tamil cinema, all the same, it would generate the necessary spirit among the audience.He also guarantees Ajith’s fans that Aalwar would be an entertaining chart buster which they have been expecting from Ajith for a long time.

Going by the contagious happy and confident mood, Aalwar is sure to be a top class hit.

Ajith hardly ever spends time for an interview or two with the media and if he ever does, his quotes reverberate forever in the media for their controversial content. Such interviews gained him a conceited image and probably realizing that Ajith stopped giving interviews to the media.

This has taken a new turn now. Ajith is not seen talking to anyone these days – be it a function or a public gathering. His answer to the questions flung at him remains a smile – a nonchalant one.

He is otherwise seemed to be having a good time with his crewmembers in the sets of Aalwar and is particular in treating the technicians in his crew with due respect. Only time and Shalini can tell as to what kind of transition he is undergoing. But our assumption to this predictable transition is that he wants to keep himself off from the controversies – good to keep your lips pursed rather than inviting trouble by uttering something, what say?

It’s
a Deepavali treat for Ajith fans. His God Father, which was lying in
the cans for a very longtime will eventually hit the screens this
Deepavali.

Produced by NIC Arts, the movie features Ajith in
three roles for the first time and is directed by K S Ravikumar.
Several financial constraints prevented the movie’s release and it has
been waiting for release for the past several months.

Following the State government’s announcement of tax
exemption for movies titled in Tamil, the producers opted for a title
change and God Father has changed to Varalaru.

Now Varalaru will storm the screens in over half-a-dozen theatres in Chennai including the Sathyam Cinemas.

A R Rahman’s music and presence of big names like Asin would come handy to promote the film.

Ajith is considered a safe bet in the industry considering the grand opening for his movies. He is currently acting in Aalwar.

Competing with Ajith’s Varalaru, this Deepavali
would be Silambarasan’s Vallavan, Vijayakanth starrer Dharmapuri,
Jeeva’s E and Srikanth’s Kizhakku Kadarkarai Salai. Sarath Kumar is
planning to release his 100th venture Thalaimagan for Deepavali.

With a changed look there
is a lot cooking in Ajith’s career.

        Conscious of an image change,
he shed lot of weight in Thirupathy, only to evoke a mixed reaction from
his fans. To restore the balance, he has put on some flesh and the difference
is noticeable.

        After Godfather (now
it is Varalaru), due for a Deepavali release, Ajith’s Aalvar
is getting ready for Pongal. The first schedule was gone through in a frenetic
pace of shooting in Hyderabad. A song was canned at the Ramoji Rao studio
in a tastefully decorated set. The movie directed by debutant Sella (an
assistant to S J Suryah) has the tagline of the one without fear.

        A sort of productive year
for Ajith considering the moderate success of Paramasivan and the
100-plus run of Thirupathy. In the felicitation function got up
by AVM for Thirupathy, the actor felt happy that his career is on
a roll again, after the few hiccups trying to balance a career in motor
racing and films.

        Ajith is confident of Aalvar
meeting the audience demand, now on a higher plane after the success of
Thirupathy.
Paired with Asin again after Varalaru, Ajith said ‘it was comfortable
to work with an understanding artiste. We vibe well, making concerted efforts
to bring in the chemistry on screen. You will find a lot of life in our
characters, sharing a mutual respect for each other.’

News about Ajith’s next venture is out a week ago. For folks who just tuned in, here is the update: Ajith will be seen in the remake of a hit Malayalam movie by name Kireedam (which had Mohanlal in the lead), which is eventually produced by noted producer Balaji’s (Mohanlal’s father-in-law) son Suresh Balaji in collaboration with Mumbai based Adlabs. The movie will start right after Ajith’s completion of Aalwar and the name Kireedam is retained as in the Malayalam version.

The movie has an emotional story line, which narrates about the relationship between a strict father who is a police constable and his son. The son happens to accidentally kill a thug and finds himself raised to fame – the most unlikely type. The story explores the plight of human relationships caught by fate. While this is the story line of the Malayalam Kireedam, changes may eventually be made to spice up the Tamil version, we assume. Director Vijay assures that it has fair good action sequences as well.

The shooting is scheduled to commence on December 1 in Chennai and will move on to Karaikudi in due course. The movie is likely to hit the screen on May 1 of 2007, which is Ajith’s birthday.

With Ajith doing a triple role, KS Ravikumar started work on ‘Godfather’ in a brisk manner.

At a time when Ajith was undergoing some hard times, he had more trouble when the shooting for ‘Godfather’ stopped suddenly when half the film was complete. This left  people wondering about when it would get released. Now, there seems to be some hope for ‘Godfather.’

With some minor work here and there to be completed, ‘Godfather’ is set for a Diwali release. But with one major change. It has been re-titled ‘Varalaaru’!

Hopefully like the title, the film will rake in the profits!

The entire Aalwar unit is contented with the way shooting has been progressing. Ajith has gotten back to his old handsome and charming look much to the delight of all his well-wishers. He seems to be ready for the battle for the top position in the industry. Ajith’s circle says that the ultimate star has rolled up his sleeve to face the challenge. He is totally charged and confident now.

But the news is not about that, but is about the character of the leading lady Asin in Aalwar.
People say that the character of Asin has really shaped up well in the film and has equal scope and opportunity with that of the hero. This talented Malabar beauty comes across as a college going girl staying in her grandmother’s place for her studies. Though appears to be a very calm and obedient girl indoors, she is totally the contrast outside her house. Understandably Asin has performed very well, clearly distinguishing between the two shades of character. Insiders expect that after Kalpana in Gajini, this role is sure to get accolades for Asin and would definitely be a milestone in her career.

After the good business of ‘Thirupati,’ Ajith has a crown of success of his head and strangely, his next film ‘Kiritam’ means a crown!
   

The release date of ‘Godfather’ is still a mystery. Not bogged down by all this delay, Ajith is busy with his current film ‘Azhwar.’ After completing this, Ajith will start work on ‘Kiritam’ to be directed by AL Raja. He has worked as assistant to Priyadarshan.

While Asin plays his lady love in ‘Azhwar,’ it will be Nayantara with whom he’ll sing duets in ‘Kiritam.’

The shooting is expected to start in a couple of months and the film readied for a May 2007 release, to coincide with his birthday on May 1.
