The huge success of Aasai (1995) proved to be a turning point in the career of Ajith Kumar, as the film fetched him wide recognition and helped him establish himself as an actor in Kollywood. He became popular as a romantic hero in South India.

He delivered a series of hits, including “Kadhal Kottai” (1996), “Vaanmathi” (1996), “Aval Varuvala” (1998) and “Kadhal Mannan” (1998). The film “Vaali” (1999), in which he played the roles of both hero and villain, led his career to a new high. He had a significant role in Rajiv Menon’s directorial venture “Kandukondain Kandukondain” (2000), which was one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

Tamil audience saw Ajith Kumar portray an entirely different image - of an action hero - in the film “Dheena” (2001). The film “Citizen”, released in the same year, was critically acclaimed, although it didn’t score well in the box office. The movie “Red” (2002), which bombed at the box office, proved to be a disaster for the actor. “Red” is marked as an all-time low in his career. Subsequently, Ajith faced ups and downs in his career. Some films went unnoticed, while other proved to be super hits. After delivering hits and flops for a couple of years, Ajith had a come back in “Billa”, which was a blockbuster of 2007.
