In the video, SPB states that he had introduced Ajith in cinema as a hero through a Telugu producer while also adding his son S. P. Charan and the superstar were close friends right from their school days.

The legendary singer further went on to add saying Ajith frequently borrowed S. P. Charan’s attire for ad shoots due to sentimental reasons and showered praises on ‘Thala’ for being committed to his work and family while also appreciating the star over the fact he doesn’t often give any interviews.
