In today's BW Thala Special birthday campaign, director Rajakumaran, who was recently seen as an actor in Kadugu, talks to us about his experiences working with Ajith.
He opens up by saying, "I have experience of working with Ajith sir in two films, Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen (as an AD) and Nee Varuvai Ena (as director). During the shoot of Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen, he promised me that we will do a film and that became true with my directorial debut Nee Varuvai Ena. My whole life changed with that one film and the reason is Ajith sir".
To Ajith, he says, "We all call you 'ji' and you also address everyone by 'ji'. It was always very easy to meet you ji. The fans and audience are calling you 'Thala', but 'unga thala ya kooda velila paaka mudiyardhu illa ji' (we are not able to even see your head anywhere else outside). Please come out and see everyone ji, we will not eat you. We aren't that bad people and we just want to see you. Come out and speak to us ji."
