Biography
Ajith Kumar Subramaniam built a three-decade Tamil cinema dynasty on dual roles and genre-flip reinvention. Born 1 May 1971 in India, he debuted in the 1990 romantic drama En Veedu En Kanavar before his first breakthrough, Aasai (1995). He locked in romantic-hero status with Kadhal Kottai (1996), Kaadhal Mannan (1998), and Aval Varuvala (1998), then pivoted hard into action with Amarkkalam (1999). His deaf-mute twin performance in Vaalee (1999) won his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Tamil; he earned critical praise for dual roles in the vigilante film Citizen (2001) and won his second Filmfare for his parallel act in Villain (2002). By 2006, Varalaru—where he played three roles, one a classical Bharatanatyam dancer—became the year's highest-grossing Tamil film and netted him a third Filmfare. He followed with remakes Kireedam (2007) and Billa (2007), both critically acclaimed, then played antagonist in his 50th film, Mankatha (2011), one of Tamil cinema's highest-grossing releases; its prequel Billa II (2012) marked Tamil cinema's first prequel. Across 63 films, he has won four Vijay Awards, three Cinema Express Awards, three Filmfare Awards South, and three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. As a screenwriter and actor, he channels Taurus stability into meticulous craft. Beyond cinema, he is a racing driver: he competed in MRF Racing (2010), raced in the 2010 Formula 2 Championship alongside Armaan Ebrahim and Parthiva Sureshwaren, drove in the 2003 Formula Asia BMW Championships, and raced internationally in Germany and Malaysia, making him one of few Indians in international Formula competition. His annual earnings landed him on the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list three times. In 2025, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan, the nation's third highest civilian honour.
