Director Suseenthiran shared an interesting anecdote about Thala Ajith, who celebrates his birthday today. The message, roughly translated into English, reads:

"Ajith sir helped me.

When I was an assistant director, a friend of mine, another assistant director was seriously ill and was admitted to a hospital. He had to be operated, and the surgery required Rs 3 Lakh. My friends and I began asking around in the film fraternity for help. It was then, that I met Ajith sir on the sets of Jana.

I explained the dire situation to him. With no hesitation, he helped with a huge sum of money - to someone whose face was unknown to him. From that day, I have a huge respect for Ajith sir.

I send my hearty wishes to Ajith sir on his birthday."
