AJITH`S FAMILY

Family

Ajith Kumar was born on 1 May 1971 to a Tamil Brahmin from Palakkad named P. Subramaniam and his wife Mohini, of Sindhi origin from Kolkata, West Bengal. Ajith later created the non-profit organisation “Mohini-Mani Foundation”, named after his parents, in order to promote self-hygiene and civic consciousness and to help ease the problems of urban sprawl. Ajith Kumar was the middle son out of three brothers, the others being Anil Kumar, a stock broker in New York and Anoop Kumar, an IIT Madras graduate working in Seattle. The latter brother was recently involved in the court case of fellow actor, Prashanth’s, divorce. Moreover, Ajith had younger twin sisters, both of whom died young.Through his marriage to actress Shalini, Ajith became brother-in-law to actor, Richard Rishi, and actress Shamili, who appeared as his sister-in-law in Rajiv Menon’s Kandukondain Kandukondain.

AJITH`S BILLA 2007 NEWS..........

Billa and the future (2006-present)

During 2006, Ajith returned from his hiatus by appearing in P. Vasu’s Paramasivan for which he had lost twenty kilograms to portray the lead role. The film enjoyed a moderate success, scoring over Vijay’s Aadhi, which also released in the same week, at the box-office.Critics from The Hindu stated Ajith looked “trim and taut” in the film with “only his eyes seeming to have lost some of its sparkle”, following the major weight loss. Furthermore, for Paramasivan and his two other projects in 2006, Ajith sported long hair, which was being grown for Bala’s project, Naan Kadavul, which Ajith eventually opted out of. Similarly his next, AVM Productions’s, Thirupathi directed by Perarasu performed above average business at the box-office, despite garnering poor reviews, with Rediff critics citing that the film is “anything but sensible” but that Ajith “salvages the situation with a spirited performance”. Ajith summed up a successful comeback by the release of his long-delayed film, Varalaru which went on to become his biggest success til date. The K. S. Ravikumar film co-starring Asin, portrayed Ajith in three roles, including that of a classical dancer, with his portrayals being critically praised. Moreover, the film fetched Ajith his third Filmfare Best Actor Award, on its way to becoming a blockbuster. Ajith’s first release in 2007, Aalwar became a debacle at the box-office, with his previous film still continuing to run in theatres even after Aalwar had stopped it’s brief theatrical run. Kireedam, a remake of the 1989 National Award winning Malayalam film of the same name was released to positive reviews, with the film also becoming a moderate success. During the shoot of the film, Ajith developed a further spinal injury, a recurrence of his problem earlier in his career.

Ajith then starred in a remake of a 1980s Rajinikanth starrer, Billa, which became a blockbuster. The film fetched critical praise for Ajith, becoming a trendsetter for stylish art direction and cinematography in India. Billa, yet again, featured Ajith in dual roles one of a notorious don whilst the other played an innocent person who had to act as the don, following the former’s death. After Billa, Ajith appeared in the film Ayngaran International production Aegan, directed by the choreographer turned director Raju Sundaram. The film, a remake of the 2004 Hindi comedy Main Hoon Na, only managed to do average business at the box office. Following a year’s worth of production, Ajith’s latest release, Aasal released in February 2010, taking a grand opening at the box office. The film, which also featured Ajith in dual roles, saw Ajith creditted as a screenwriter along with his role of being a don neglected by his brothers in the quest for their father’s will. After a seconf foray into motor racing, Ajith has signed up to star in a film directed by Gautham Menon, which is likely to start in late 2010.

Ajith Billa 2 Movie

IN Entertainment (India) Limited, part of the Hinduja Group, has tied up with Chennai-based Wide Angle Creations led by Suresh Balaji and George Pius to produce ‘Billa 2’.

Ajith, carrying on from the blockbuster success of ‘Billa’ in 2007, will relive the lead role of ‘Billa’. The film, helmed by ace director Vishnuvardhan, will go on the floors in early April 2011 and is being envisaged for a release between December 2011 and February 2012.

Soumik Sen, who heads development at INE, has worked on the screenplay along with Vishnuvardhan and the same is being developed into Tamil dialogue draft presently.

Yuvan Shankar Raja (music director) and Nirav Shah (director of photography), who worked on ‘Billa’ are likely to be associated with this project too.

Says Sunir Kheterpal, CEO – IN Entertainment, ‘INE is looking to develop and produce films with talented Film-makers in Tamil and Telugu and it is an honour to be associated with a brand like ‘Billa’, original producers of ‘Billa’ (which starred Rajinikanth) represented by Suresh Balaje, Ajith and Vishnuvardhan in our first Tamil film.’

Commenting on the association, Suresh Balaji says ‘We are delighted to be working with INE and the Hinduja Group. It is a nostalgic homecoming for us as we produced the original ‘Billa’ with Rajinikanth. ‘Billa 2’ will go on the floors in early April 2011 as soon as Ajith’s current project Mankatha is completed’.

Ajith adds, putting an end to all speculation around the film, it is my next film and we start filming in early April 2011.

Prequel to ‘Billa’ is an exciting premise and I am delighted to be working with close friends, Suresh Balaje and Vishnu and am glad that we have a strong company like INE backing this project.’

Vishnuvardhan says, ‘prequel to ‘Billa’ is a tremendously powerful idea and we have finalized a screenplay which matches the intensity of the underlying idea. We are working towards putting together the winning team’.
