Since his return to racing late last year, Ajith Kumar has had multiple car crashes, which he escaped without any major injuries. In January, as he prepared for the Dubai 24 Hours event, Ajith's car crashed during a training session. And in February alone, he has had multiple crashes, with the latest occurrences coming during a Porsche Sprint Challenge race in Valencia, Spain. In an X post, the actor's manager Suresh Chandra shared a video of one of the crashes, which he attributed to "other cars." The post said, "The annexes video clearly shows that he was not in fault. First time despite of crash he got back into pit and was doing well. When second time again crash happened and he toppled twice."

In what seems like a Vidaamuyarchi reference, the post further added that Ajith's "perseverance is stronger and he comes out unscathed again to continue the race."

Earlier, Ajith's Vidaamuyarchi co-star Arav shared an example of the actor's commitment and care in an exclusive interview with CE. Talking about his on-set accident with Ajith, Arav stated, "I knew that the car would topple, but I had full trust in Ajith sir’s ability to handle it. After the accident, I realised Ajith sir was hurrying to get out of the car to help me. He is always concerned about his co-stars. I told him I came into the film industry expecting such situations."

On the work front, Ajith has Good Bad Ugly, with Mark Antony filmmaker Adhik Ravichandran, in the pipeline. Also starring Trisha, Arjun Das, Prabhu, Prasanna, and Shine Tom Chacko, among others, Good Bad Ugly is scheduled for an April 10 release in theatres.
