Ajith
Kumar,
the
Thala
of
Tamil
cinema
celebrated
his
49th
birthday
on
May
1,
2020.
Unlike
the
previous
years,
the
fans
of
Ajith
stayed
away
from
celebrations
this
time
upon
the
request
of
the
actor
himself.
However,
the
Thala
fans
celebrated
the
actor's
birthday
on
social
media
by
creating
special
videos
and
making
him
trend
on
all
platforms.
However,
the
admirers
of
Vijay,
the
close
friend
and
onscreen
rival
of
Thala
Ajith,
used
the
day
to
show
the
fan
power
of
the
Thalapathy.
The
Vijay
fans
created
the
hashtag
#VijayFaceOfKollywood,
and
shared
the
throwback
pictures
and
videos
of
their
idol.
It
soon
set
a
new
record
and
emerged
as
the
most
trending
hashtag
of
the
day,
with
around
2.33
Million
impressions.
However,
another
group
of
Vijay
fans
created
a
new
hashtag
called
#NanbarAjith
(as
Vijay
addresses
the
Valimai
actor)
as
a
token
of
respect
for
Thala
Ajith
on
his
birthday.
This
hashtag
too
trended
on
the
various
social
media
platforms
throughout
the
day.
Even
though
their
respective
fans
have
always
been
in
loggerheads,
Ajith
and
Vijay
maintain
a
great
friendship
in
real
life
despite
being
onscreen
rivals.
Recently,
the
Thalapathy
had
mentioned
how
his
Nanbar
Ajith
inspired
him
to
dress
up
in
a
tuxedo,
during
the
audio
launch
even
if
his
highly
anticipated
upcoming
project
Master.
When
it
comes
to
their
respective
professions,
Thala
Ajith
will
be
next
seen
in
the
highly
anticipated
upcoming
project
Valimai.
The
movie,
which
is
said
to
be
an
out
and
out
action
thriller,
marks
Ajith's
second
collaboration
with
director
H
Vinoth.
Vijay,
on
the
other
hand,
will
be
next
seen
in
the
upcoming
movie
Master,
which
is
directed
by
Kaithi
fame
Lokesh
Kanagaraj.
The
movie,
which
was
originally
supposed
to
hit
the
theaters
in
April
2020
is
now
postponed
indefinitely
due
to
the
coronavirus
threat.
