Ajith started his career as a supporting actor in a Telugu film before breaking out with the Tamil thriller Aasai in 1995. Since then, the actor has appeared in a number of films and has become one of Tamil cinema's highest-paid actors. He has received four Vijay Awards, three Cinema Express Awards, three Filmfare Awards South, and three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. Kumar is also a biker, who has raced in the MRF Racing series. He is one of the few Indians who has raced in both the International and Formula championships.
