Ajith began his acting career as a child artiste.

Ajith Kumar made his actual debut with the Telugu film Prema Pusthakam, not a Tamil film.

He dropped out of school to pursue his passion for car racing.

Several of Ajith’s early films were dubbed by actor Vikram.

He appeared in Asoka, while Shah Rukh Khan was unaware of Ajith’s massive star stature at the time.
