Kollywood’s most handsome actor Ajith Kumar who will turn 40 on May 1, is all set to join other racers at the FIA Formula Two Championship at Silverstone in England. His entry into F2 was confirmed on Wednesday.
Ajith in a press statement has said:
“I’ am very excited about getting into competitive racing again and looking forward to the first race next month. I did some testing in Malaysia recently and am looking forward to more practice in racing circuits in UK like Snetterton and Silverstone before the event kicks off on April 16 at Silverstone.”
The reason for the actor taking to motor racing in a big way is said to be because- “I want to take motor racing in this country to the common man. Right now, it is still a niche sport largely popular in the urban areas.”
Meanwhile, Kollywood is not very happy that Ajith is turning his attention to motor sports after the lukewarm response to his last release Aasal at the box-office. There is no new development on his next film to be directed by Gautham Menon, which now looks like will start only by the end of the year.
