Ajith says no to car

We all know Ajith is a racer and is very fond of cars. But the actor denied a luxury car offered

to him in France when he was shooting for ‘Asal’, saying that everyone in the team should be treated equal.

“When Ajith was asked to travel by a car specially hired for him, he refused to accept it and said “We all are one team and we should be togethe

r. Let me travel with other members of the cast and crew on the bus”. He stuck on to his words till the end of the schedule,” a crew member said.

However, Ajith’s craze for cars became visible one day, the member said and narrated an incident: “A chasing specialist called Patrick was hired to can a stunt sequence for the movie. When he asked Ajith to use a body double for a risky scene, Ajith, without paying heed to his advice, drove the car on his own in lightning speed and stunned everyone.”

The getup in which Ajith appears in the movie was specially designed by a team headed by director Saran, the source said. “Around 50 looks were considered and this one got Ajith’s approval finally.”

Larencce invites Rajini!

Director-actor-choreographer Larencce is fresh after finishing Simbudevan’s ‘Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam’ and we hear that he has not yet decided upon his next project till now.

But, birdies say that he is very busy in another important work. Yup, we hear that Larencce’s mind and soul is occupied on the thoughts of the Ragavendra Temple he is building in Ambattur. The opening ceremony of the Temple is scheduled to happen on the New Year day.

Guess the VIP who Larencce is planning to invite - Of course it’s our Superstar. The actor has asked for the appointment of Rajinikanth and is waiting. Rajinikanth was the Guru who enlightened Larencce about Sri Ragavendra, hence the actor is pinning all his hopes that Rajini will be there for the ceremony.

Sources say that Larencce will be deciding on whether to act and direct a film for Rajkiran’s banner or to direct for Nagarjuna’s home banner. In any case ‘Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam’ will surely bring a turning point in Larencce’s career in Tamil, say the distributors who saw the double positive of the film.
