On behalf of LatestLY, we wish the superstar Many Many Happy Returns of the Day. Ajith Kumar Birthday: 5 Things That Make Thala the Most Favourite Superstar of Tamil Cinema!
Now if you have followed Thala's career right from the start, you know that the man has done nearly all kinds of genres. From family dramas to romantic films to action thrillers to black comedies, the actor has left a mark in most of them. But when it comes to massy roles, Ajith seems to have a special knack in making them even more powerful. In this special feature, let's revisit seven films of the superstar that are pure marana massu!
Dheena

In Dheena, directed by hitmaker AR Murugadoss, Ajith plays the adopted brother and right-hand man of a benevolent gangster (Malayalam star Suresh Gopi), who would do anything for his mentor, only for things to get complicated when he falls for a girl. It is the kind of role that allows Ajith to display his machismo and his romantic side, and Ajith manages to excel in both!
Billa

The remake of a Rajinikanth starrer by the same name, which itself is a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's Don, is more stylish and action-oriented, more so with the presence of both Ajith and Nayantara. As both the shrewd, cold-hearted don and his naive, good-hearted doppelganger, Ajith brings out enough variance in the role to make them distinct enough while also packing a punch where and when needed!
Mankatha

A black comedy that as Ajith tearing up the scene in an out-and-out villain character. Mankatha, directed by Venkat Prabhu, has him play a corrupt former cop who pulls off a heist on a don with a bunch of good-for-nothings. Only this isn't Ocean's 11, as everyone tries to double-cross each other. Ajith's OTT act and some sparkling dialogues make this flawed film worth revisiting when you have nothing else to do.
