From Vaalee to Viswasam: Ajith Kumar’s blockbuster films starting with ‘V’ that ruled the box office


Ajith Kumar, fondly called AK by fans, has delivered some of Tamil cinema’s most iconic films. Interestingly, a number of his career-defining hits share a unique connection — they all start with the letter ‘V’. From intense dual roles to emotionally charged mass entertainers, these films have left a lasting impact on audiences. Here's a visual journey through Ajith's powerful ‘V-titled’ blockbusters.

2/7

Vaalee (1999)

Ajith is in a double role – one blind and obsessive, the other gentle and romantic. This psychological thriller marked a turning point in Ajith’s career. His dual portrayal of the twin brothers especially the sinister Dev earned him widespread acclaim and established him as a serious performer.

3/7

Villain (2002)

Villain showcased Ajith’s emotional depth and action prowess. His performance as a mute character tugged at heartstrings while the stylish gangster added commercial flair.

4/7

Varalaru (2006)

Ajith in a triple role, including a graceful Bharatanatyam dancer. A film that proved Ajith’s commitment to challenging roles. His portrayal of the mentally scarred dancer stood out, and the movie became one of the biggest hits of the year.

5/7

Vedalam (2015)

AK in peak mass form, balancing sentiment and style. A festival treat loaded with punch dialogues and emotional twists. Ajith’s bond with his on-screen sister and his transition from a humble taxi driver to a vengeful gangster won over fans and critics alike.

6/7

Vivegam (2017)

A slick international spy thriller with high-octane action. "Vivegam" took Ajith global — literally. With a ripped physique and adrenaline-pumping sequences shot across Europe, the film redefined the action genre in Tamil cinema.

7/7

Viswasam (2019)

A massive rural drama with family at its core. Releasing alongside Rajinikanth’s Petta, Viswasam emerged victorious at the box office. Ajith’s Thooku Durai, a tough yet tender-hearted village don, was loved by audiences of all ages.
