Meet the actor, a former student who worked as a mechanic and salesperson before becoming famous and earning over Rs 100 crore per movie

From Rajinikanth to Akshay Kumar, a number of Indian actors who are now household names thanks to their blockbuster movies formerly had odd jobs before turning to show business to support themselves. But now they want outrageous pay. An actor who dropped out of school before finishing his tenth year is another addition to this list.

Ajith has starred in many films, including Aarambam, Veeram, Vedalam, and others, that have made over Rs 100 crore in revenue.
