CHENNAI: A documentary based on actor Ajith Kumar’s racing journey, titled Gladiators, is set to release in August, according to a Maalaimalar report. The documentary is directed by AL Vijay and has music composed by GV Prakash Kumar.
The teaser of the documentary was released on Ajith’s birthday earlier this month and drew attention among fans on social media. The film is centred around Ajith Kumar Racing, the actor’s professional racing team, and is expected to showcase his journey in motorsport.
The documentary focuses on Ajith’s passion for car racing and his achievements in the sport. Apart from being one of the leading actors in Tamil cinema, Ajith has also participated in several international racing events over the years.
