Ajith on Retirement
With the nation's third-highest civilian award now under his belt, the Tamil superstar has sent waves of contemplation about possible retirement. When asked about it during an interview with India Today, Ajith led with a sobering reality check: "You never know! There's no telling if I'll be forced into retirement. Life can be as unpredictable as the twist in a bad action flick. It's not about me choosing the right time to hang 'em up, but rather accepting the hand life deals me"[2][3][5].
Living Every Second
Life didn't just hand Ajith a movie career; it handed him a handful of challenges. Surgeries, injuries – he's been through the ringer, but he's not complaining. In fact, it's given him a unique outlook on life. As he put it, "Some of my pals and family have battled cancer, so we know full well how precious each breath truly is. Waking up in the morning, feeling good – that right there is a freaking miracle! I'm not getting deep here; it's just the truth"[1][3].
A Quick Look Back
With nearly two decades of box office dominance in Tamil cinema under his belt, Ajith made a comeback to the big screen in 2025 after a two-year hiatus. His return flick, Vidaamuyarchi, might have won the critics' hearts, but it didn't set the cash registers ringing, taking home a respectable ₹138 crore[4]. However, his latest offering, Good Bad Ugly, has been a smash hit, earning over ₹200 crore in just two weeks!
