In today's article on the BW Thala Special birthday campaign, we bring you what Aalwar director Chella had to tell about Ajith Kumar.
Chella opens up by saying, "Aalwar happened in 2007, and it was a very big chance for me. I was SJ Suryah sir's AD in Vaali, and I've known Ajith sir since then. I narrated him the story, and as soon as I finished narrating, he immediately gave his nod to do the film. We shot for 87 days and those 87 days are still fresh in the memory for me. I cherish those days. He has a high level of confidence level. He is 'Tamilaga Makkaludaya Aalwar.'
I am praying everyday and hoping to do another film with Ajith Kumar. I want to make it as a blockbuster film. He always keeps up the time and has no ego at all. It is very tough to see a person like him, and Tamil cinema is lucky to have an actor like Ajith. Its been 10 years since I saw him and I am waiting to meet him again."
