In Hollywood, we have a lot of actors actually doing biopics of scientists, criminals, or musicians, but films on the lives and times of actors are very rare. Only decades after the death of an actor/actress, they usually attempt a biopic owing to the legal complications from the family members or the other people involved in the lives of those iconic persons.

Guess what, Tamil star Ajith Kumar will be the first contemporary hero to have a biopic shot on him, though not in the film format. According to reports, a leading OTT platform is now coming up with a special documentary on Ajith’s racing journey.

To be directed by AL Vijay, former husband of actress Amala Paul, this project is tentatively titled “Ajith’s Racing Life” and will be made as a three-part documentary. Guess what, even legendary actors like Chiranjeevi, Rajnikanth, Balakrishna, or the new generation superstars like Pawan Kalyan or Mahesh Babu have no such documentaries shot on them. Maybe Ajith’s racing journey is what makes him special.

With some interesting racing credentials like Ajith’s race car team securing third place at the Dubai 24H race, third place at Italy’s 12H race, and winning second at Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, surely the actor has something to show off in the documentary.

Despite a busy acting career, Ajith takes part in racing, though he ended up crashing multiple times and sustaining injuries as well.
