Earlier, it was reported that Ajith would be stepping away from racing as a driver, limiting himself to the duties of being a team owner. This decision was said to have been taken after careful consideration and with an understanding of what would be in the best interest of the team.
The recent practice session of the actor and the crash he endured during the same were what led them to consider such an option. However, it has now been confirmed that Ajith is committed to racing in the 24H Dubai race.
Moving ahead, Ajith Kumar is also set to hit the big screens this year. The actor-turned-racer is coming to theaters with his films Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly, making it a treat for fans.
While the former movie was initially announced for a Pongal release, it was later postponed by the makers for unknown reasons. Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, Vidaamuyarchi is an action thriller featuring Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles.
Speculated to be an adaptation of the Hollywood movie Breakdown, the film tells the story of a husband who sets out to retrieve his wife after she is kidnapped.
On the other hand, Good Bad Ugly is slated for release on April 10, 2025.
