A Vijay-Ajith collaboration nobody expected

Vijay and Ajith have worked in Kollywood since the early 1990s and were always perceived as rivals in the industry. So after three decades of fans warring on their behalf, both offline and online, they were shocked to see the announcement that Vijay would flag off a race Ajith was taking part in.

Talking to the press in England, Ajith even said, “I am extremely thankful to the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C Joseph Vijay, to have taken time off from his busy schedule to come and visit us at Silverstone. We’ve been colleagues in the film industry for the last 34 years, and I’m very happy for him that he’s now the Chief Minister-elect.”

He also added, “They have been doing a lot to promote sports from every discipline, not just motorsport. They’re looking at motorsport as well. I’m glad he accepted the invitation to come and look at what are the logistic-wise, infrastructure-wise, it would take for India, Chennai to host events like the Le Mans series in India. And my wish is to see these events come to India and all of us race in India, you know?”

Vijay last starred in Jana Nayagan this year, which is touted to be his final film. Ajith starred in Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly with Trisha in 2025. He has a film called Dare Devil lined up.
