Over
the
years,
the
actor
has
starred
in
quite
a
few
commercially
successful
films
and
this
has
gone
a
long
way
in
establishing
him
as
the
undisputed
king
of
the
box

Now,

reason.
As
it
so
happens,
his
much-loved
Billa
2
hit
the
screens
on
this
very
day
six
years
ago.
Directed
by
Chakri
Toleti,
the
film
did
decent
business
at
the
box
office
and
impressed
the
'Thala
Army'.
With
Billa
2
mania
gripping
the
movie
buffs
again,
here
is
a
look
at
why
it
is
a
truly
special
film.
It
Showed
A
Popular
Character
In
New
Light
In
2007,
Ajith
starred
in
the
crime-drama
Billa
and
added
a
new
dimension
to
his
career.
In
the
film,
he
played
the
role
of
don
named
David
Billa
and
redefined
the
meaning
of
swag.
His
portrayal
of
the
dreaded
gangster
was
so
perfect
that
the
fans
fell
in
love
with
it
in
no
time.
In
Billa
2,
director
Chakri
Toleti
highlighted
the
early
struggles
of
this
character
and
managed
to
show
David
Billa
in
new
light.
An
Intense
Performance
From
Ajith
Playing
the
titular
role,
Ajith
delivered
an
intense
yet
restrained
performance
and
proved
that
he
is
an
actor
par
excellence.
He
also
managed
to
do
complete
justice
to
the
film's
caustic
dialogues
and
this
added
a
new
dimension
to
Billa
2.
It
Created
a
Record
At
The
Box
Office
Billa
2
opened
on
a
solid
note
at
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office
despite
receiving
mixed
reviews.
It
collected
nearly
Rs
10
Crore
on
day
1
and
set
a
new
record.
Interestingly,
it
wasn't
a
festival
release.
It
Stayed
True
To
Its
Genre
Billa
2
was
an
action-thriller
in
the
truest
sense
and
did
not
feature
any
unnecessary
sub-plots/
comedy
tracks.
It
relied
on
action
sequences
and
some
captivating
storytelling
to
keep
the
audience
hooked.
Enough
said!
