Among the Diwali releases, only Ajit’s Varalaaru will be profitable for its distributors and theatres who paid Minimum Guarantee (MG). It clearly indicates the Ajit power at the box-office, as most of them have been able to recover their investment in the first week itself!

The first three days collection of Varalaaru proves that Ajit is the best opener in Tamil cinema after Rajnikanth. In cricketing terms, he is the ‘Gilli’ of Kollywood, like the Australian wicket keeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist, considered to be the best opener in one-day cricket.

Gilli, as he is popularly known plunders maximum number of runs in the less number of balls, giving his team a great start. Similarly Ajit films attack the box-office and plunder huge openings in least number of days, making the road to profitability faster for its buyers.

An Ajit film normally turns profitable in the first week of release and how big hit it is depends on the content of the film. This strategy has worked to his advantage this year with Paramasivam and Varalaaru but backfired with Tirupati where the content was bad.

Now all eyes are on Ajit’s Pongal 2007 release Aalwar where he is pitted against arch-rivals Vijay’s Pokiri and Vikram’s Bheema.

Ajit has almost completed the entire shoot of Aalwar and will move on to Suresh Balaji’s Kireedom by December. Now all top banners want his dates and the rumour is that he has signed a film for producer A.M.Ratnam.

The best thing that happened to Ajit is that he has been able to get away from the clutches of Nic Arts Chakravarthy and his gang. Now the actor takes his own decisions regarding his career which augers well for him.
