Director Magizh Thirumeni was recently in an interview with Touring Talkies on YouTube, where he revealed Ajith Kumar’s dedication to completing his work, even going as far as working constantly for 24 hours.

In his chat, the director said, “At a point when we were shooting for Vidaamuyarchi, Ajith sir also had to work on Good Bad Ugly as his racing schedule was nearing. For around 7–10 days, sir shot for both films simultaneously. He worked 24 hours constantly on our movies.”

“Even though Vidaamuyarchi’s shoot did not have many stunts during that time, he had to do a lot of stunts for Good Bad Ugly. Despite having a leg injury, he worked like this and slept only while traveling to the sets,” the director added.

Magizh Thirumeni further explained that they had asked Ajith whether such an extent of exertion was necessary. However, Ajith was adamant about completing his professional commitments.

The director emphasized that after the superstar had been tirelessly working day and night, Ajith expressed his belief that the goddess of art would support him. The actor mentioned that he was putting in the same dedicated effort as he did during his first project, remaining hopeful about the film's success.
