In an exciting revelation for fans, director Vijay has confirmed he is working on a documentary that delves into the high-octane world of motorsports and its passionate devotee, Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar. The project promises an intimate look at the actor's lesser-known but deeply committed life beyond the silver screen.
Behind the Scenes of the Racing Documentary
According to reports, the idea for this documentary took shape when Ajith Kumar and his manager, Suresh Chandra, personally approached director Vijay to helm the project. Vijay shared that his journey into Ajith's racing world began with a warm welcome from the star himself, who greeted him by saying, "Welcome to my world." The director was immediately struck by the stark contrast between public perception and the gritty reality of professional racing.
He emphasized that from the outside, motorsports might appear straightforward, but the truth is far more intense. "It might feel like it is simple. It is not like that at all. Everything is a do-or-die scenario," Vijay stated, highlighting the extreme risks and demands inherent to the sport.
The Gruelling Reality of Professional Racing
Through his close observation, director Vijay gained profound insights into the athleticism required for racing, which he learned directly from Ajith. He described one particularly demanding aspect: the need for drivers to change seats during a pit stop in a mere 20 seconds. This feat is not just about speed; it demands peak physical fitness, razor-sharp focus, and immense mental fortitude.
"This is the world of motorsports, and Ajith sir is doing it passionately," Vijay remarked. He is capturing this dedication firsthand with a professional setup, using a three-camera rig and shooting the entire documentary in stunning 4K resolution to ensure a high-quality, immersive viewing experience.
A Newfound Respect for the Star and the Sport
The filmmaker expressed that this experience has significantly altered his perspective. Witnessing Ajith Kumar chase his passion with such intensity has greatly increased Vijay's admiration for both the individual and the sport. "For now, we want to document it well. It has been a great experience so far," he said.
He added a revealing observation about the actor's dual life: "All of us know Ajith as a superstar, but seeing him work hard for his passion is very surprising." This close-up view has led Vijay to believe that Ajith Kumar is on track to be recognized as a true motorsports icon in India.
On the professional front, director Vijay is also busy with his feature film project, Kadhal Reset Repeat, starring Madumkesh and Jiya Shankar. Meanwhile, Ajith Kumar was last seen on screen in the film 'Good Bad Ugly'.
