Tamil star Ajith Kumar has undergone a massive physical transformation, shedding an impressive 42 kilos in just eight months.
While many assumed it was for a film makeover, Ajith clarified that the transformation was entirely for his passion — car racing.
“I’ve always loved racing. To pursue it seriously, I had to transform myself. You need to be fit to race. So I lost 42 kilos over eight months. I’ve been hitting the gym regularly and following a strict diet,” Ajith revealed.
Lately, Ajith has been frequently spotted on racing tracks, sparking rumors that he’s stepping away from films. However, he firmly denied this speculation.
“Cinema gave me everything. I will continue acting. But car racing is something I personally enjoy, so I’ll continue that too,” he said, adding that he takes breaks from films only when racing commitments overlap.
Ajith explained that he doesn’t like doing the same thing constantly and enjoys switching gears — hence his dual focus on cinema and motorsport.
Meanwhile, his latest film Good Bad Ugly is currently streaming.
