From a humble beginning, he rose to stardom without any big support. A phenomenal actor, who lets his movies do all the talking, will be celebrating his birthday today which is characterized by his fans holding mega functions at various places in Tamilnadu.

Ajith made his acting debut in his only Telugu-language film-to-date, 'Prema Pustagam' in 1992, which was followed by a Tamil film 'Amaravathi' in the following year, his first lead role.

After acting in a series of smaller budget films, Ajith was later recognized for his performance an anonymous lover in the award-winning movie 'Kadhal Kottai'. He went on to demonstrate his versatility as an actor by portraying a variety of unique characters.

He received his first Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in 'Vaali' in 1999, portraying a double-role. He went on to win two consecutive Filmfare Best Actor Awards '€” in the 2001 film Citizen, in which he appeared in nine different appearances, and in the 2002 film, 'Villan', playing twins, one of which had a disability.

He was later recognized for his triple role in 'Varalaru', his biggest grosser to date and for his more sensitive character portrayal in 'Kireedam'. Ajith thus established himself as one of the leading actors of contemporary Tamil cinema. Having touched a peak with the blockbuster 'Billa', a remake of yesteryear Rajinikanth film, 'Ajith' has proved that he is an actor to reckon with in the industry.

In addition to being an actor, Ajith dabbled with motor racing, having driven in Formula Three for a season and an active ambassador for the Green Revolution.
