Acclaimed actor Ajith Kumar sits down with film critic and journalist Anupama Chopra at the Dubai Autodrome for an intimate conversation on The Hollywood Reporter India. The Padma Bhushan awardee opens up about his parallel passion for motorsports, revealing how racing helps him appreciate life’s fragility and serves as a form of meditation. Ajith shares his journey from accidental actor to international racing driver, discussing his participation in the 24H Dubai endurance race with his team Ajith Kumar Racing.
The conversation explores deeper themes of humility, comfort zones, and the importance of staying grounded despite decades of stardom. Anupama and Ajith discuss his minimalist approach to life, his conscious decision to avoid entourages, and his philosophy of approaching every film and race as if it were his first. The actor also shares insights about Indian motorsport, highlighting drivers like Narain Karthikeyan, Karun Chandhok, Aditya Patel, Armaan Ebrahim and Sai Sanjay, while expressing hope for the sport’s future in India alongside his admiration for racing legends Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen.

I never watch movies. I watched one mall clip from Anupama that she did interview with Ajith in dubai where he did not have any assistant while she had atleast a makeup man. Just wanted to watch for that
