Is Ajith Kumar retiring from acting; deets inside
Tamil film superstar Ajith Kumar is rumored to be stepping away from his acting career to focus on his passion for racing. Reports suggest that he is considering participating in the European GT4 Championship, reigniting interest in his long-time racing career. According to the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India, discussions are ongoing between Ajith and racing teams from the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Though this has led to speculation about his retirement from acting, no official statement has been made yet.
Ajith Kumar’s love for racing is well-known. The actor first made a mark in the racing world in 2002 when he participated in the Formula Maruti Indian Championships, securing a respectable fourth-place finish. Following this, he signed a contract with Akbar Ebrahim in 2003 to compete in the Formula BMW Asia Championship. Despite a challenging start where he spun out during his first lap, Ajith managed to complete the season, finishing in 12th place overall.

Over the years, Ajith balanced his film career and racing pursuits. In 2010, after a break from racing, he returned to the track, participating in the FIA Formula Two Championship. His involvement in racing has taken him across circuits in Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi, marking him as one of the few Indian actors to compete on an international level, particularly in FIA championships.
Rumors of Ajith’s potential departure from acting gained traction following similar news about his contemporary, Thalapathy Vijay, who has reportedly taken a step back from films to focus on his political ambitions. With Ajith possibly eyeing a full-time return to racing, fans are left wondering if his upcoming movie Good Bad Ugly might be his final performance on screen.

As fans wait for an official announcement, speculation continues to grow. Will Ajith Kumar step away from his acting career to follow his racing dreams? Only time will tell, but if these reports are accurate, the Good Bad Ugly film might be his last appearance in Tamil cinema for a while.
