When Ajith hid his leg injury during Aarambam car chase scene: ‘He didn’t even wince for a second’

In an interview with the YouTube channel Cineulagam, Om Prakash, the cinematographer of Aarambam, spoke about what happened during the shot.

Prakash said, “So, he had jumped from another vehicle to the bonnet of the car. Arya was at the wheel and I was filming sitting next to him. My assistant told me something was wrong, and I took my eye off the viewfinder and saw what was happening. Ajith sir’s leg was continuously hitting the bonnet but he didn’t wince for a second and was continuing the shot. Another police vehicle was supposed to come around and fire at him… that was the shot. He kept at it despite the pain. We shouted and stopped the shot. The next day, he came back to the sets so that the shooting would not be stopped. He didn’t want to opt for a dupe and did the shot by himself again.”

When asked if a star like him has to do all risky stunts, Om Prakash said, “No, but he does because of the passion he has for cinema. Not just the stunt, he did the whole film with such dedication.”

The clip has gone viral among Ajith fans.

Ajith has been laying low for the past few months. He has been doing many road trips across the world as part of the Ride for Mutual Respect journey. Though it was announced that he is teaming up with director Magizh Thirumeni for Vidaamuyarchi, no further updates about the film have been shared till now. The delay has disappointed his fans as other Tamil stars are delivering big-budget films consistently. Vijay, a competitor of Ajith, has had two releases this year including Leo, which has become a blockbuster.
