Rajni and Kamal are different from Ajith and Vijay. Rajni and Kamal have following beyond their fan base. A rajni movie or a kamal movie easily becomes a talking point at homes. Vijay and Ajith are more in lines with Vijayakanth, a niche fan following - of course much larger than Vijayakanth. Rajni and Kamal has long before became a cultural entity of Tamil nadu, while Ajith and Vijay are just movie stars with a large fan following. Apart from different factors, this is also because of their acting ability. You need skill to do get into household by doing MMKR,Thillu mullu, Sathi leelavathi, Thevar magan, Mannan, Muthu (I dont think wither Vijay or Ajith can do Muthu/Mannan from Rajni's filmography, let alone a thillu mullu/Johnny/ Mullum Malarum).

Both of them want to be Rajni. Rajni can do comedy, romance, drama between a matter of few scenes without any strong script and still can convince general audience and keep them hooked. Can Ajith and Vijay do it? If they cant, they have to be satisfied with the large niche fan following they have. Forget about becoming Rajni/Kamal.
