‘Sorry Thala, no time’: Ajith Kumar faces fan backlash after asking for racing support

Ajith Kumar, the Tamil film star known for his aloof approach to fan culture, has sparked controversy after requesting assistance for his racing team in Portugal's upcoming Michelin Le Mans Cup race. In a recent video, Ajith urged his followers to rally behind him, saying, "I expect all your support. Love you all." However, his plea drew sharp criticism from a segment of his fan base.

Many fans accused him of hypocrisy, pointing to his past stance against seeking fan support and his refusal to interact with fans. The incident reignited the long-standing rivalry between Ajith and his rival actor Vijay, whose support Ajith had shown at a recent race in England. Some fans felt that Ajith's recent embrace of Vijay had eroded his credibility.

The controversy also brought attention to Ajith's strained relationship with his fans, who value his personal life as much as his professional achievements.
