Despite what fans might think, the legendary “rivalry” between Vijay and Ajith is mostly just noise. Shalini Ajith Kumar recently cleared the air at an awards show, sharing that the two stars actually have a “beautiful” relationship and genuinely cheer for each other’s wins. Even director Venkat Prabhu backed this up, mentioning how Ajith personally reached out to wish Vijay luck on his film GOAT, proving that their bond is much stronger than the box office competition suggests.
In fact, both stars have gone out of their way to shut down rumors of any bad blood. Whether it’s Vijay being one of the first to congratulate Ajith on his Padma Bhushan or Ajith himself calling out people for stirring up drama between their fanbases, the message is clear: they’re friends, not enemies. While Vijay is now busy with his political journey and Ajith is focusing on racing, they’ve made it obvious that there’s nothing but mutual respect between them.
