‘Never seen him fear failure’: Shalini opens up on Ajith in Gladiators trailer, watch

Gladiators trailer: The trailer for the documentary, Gladiators, has been released by Brave Hearts Production, a production house owned by Tamil superstar Ajith and his wife Shalini. The film offers fans a glimpse into Ajith's alternative career in endurance racing, as directed by AL Vijay. Shalini, who shares the screen with Ajith in the trailer, emphasizes his relentless pursuit of dreams and passions.

Ajith's manager, Suresh Chandra, highlights the highly competitive nature of endurance racing, with 54 cars on the track. Shalini's daughter, Anoushka, admires Ajith's values and the person he is beyond his professional endeavors. The trailer also features rare interviews with Shalini and their children, Anoushka and Aadvik Kumar, as well as trainers and fellow racers who admire Ajith's passion for the sport.

Shalini notes that Ajith never expects success to come overnight and has never seen him fear failure. The trailer only features Ajith speaking into the camera once, when he says, "I love the sport. I'm very passionate about it." Ajith began racing professionally in the early 2000s and returned to professional racing in 2025 after a gap of around 14 years.

He is currently competing in the 2026 Michelin Le Mans Cup, which concludes in Portimão, Portugal, on October 10.
