The number of celebrities visiting Ajith Kumar amid his motorsports events continues to go up. After Silambarasan TR, Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, Nayanthara, Vignesh Shivan, and Anirudh, the latest to pay the superstar a visit is Venkat Prabhu.

The filmmaker, who directed Ajith in 2011's Mankatha, took to social media to share pictures from their meeting and his experience watching Ajith race live. "No retakes. No stunt doubles. No “start… camera… action.” Just real speed, real risk, real passion. Seeing namma Anna live on the Yas Marina Circuit is pure goosebumps and it’s beyond imagination," Venkat Prabhu wrote. He added, "This is not cinema. This is Ajith Kumar."

In the pictures, Venkat Prabhu can be seen clad in the Ajith Kumar Racing jersey. The Yas Marina Circuit race is happening in Abu Dhabi. The other day, Sivakarthikeyan also visited Ajith amid his race on the circuit.

The filmmaker's meeting with Ajith comes amid the rererelease of their film Mankatha. The film has been running successfully in theatres again. Ever since its rererelease in late January, it has minted over 15 crore from theatres worldwide.

Recently, the filmmaker talked about reuniting with his Mankatha star for a sequel to the blockbuster film. After the first show of the 2011 film's rerelease, the filmmaker said that he would be open to the prospect of a sequel if Ajith okays it.

Meanwhile, filmmaker AL Vijay is making a documentary with Ajith about the actor's motorsports endeavours. It remains to be seen which of these celebrities who visited Ajith would feature in the documentary. After his racing commitments, the actor is expected to come back to India and start shooting his next film, reuniting with his Good Bad Ugly director Adhik Ravichandran.
