According to the filmmaker, Ajith Kumar is truly a self-made star, who made it big in the industry without the support of a godfather. "What a style, what a handsome man, what a body language. And Ajith sir himself has said one dialogue that defines him - 'In my life, every day, every minute and every second are carved by myself'. Especially in Tamil film industry, to reach this height of stardom without any support is not at all a small thing," explained Magizh Thirumeni.
