Ajith Kumar
Yesterday footage showing actor Ajith Kumar performing stunts for Vidaa Muyarchi without a stunt double, including a scene where his car overturned, garnered significant attention on social media.

Actor's publicist shares details of the unfortunate on-set stunt mishap
In a video clip, Ajith is seen driving a car with Arav seated beside him. Suddenly, the car flips over, prompting the crew to rush towards them. Ajith's publicist addressed the incident, providing clarification. "The team was shooting an action sequence on a highway in Azerbaijan. The speculation is that one of the tyres of the vehicle that Ajith sir was driving might have gotten deflated, leading to this accident."
He added, "Arav and Ajith sir went for a check-up and resumed shoot within three hours. Neither of the two actors suffered any injury." To note, the video was taken in November last year.
