Then I realize I have been cut… It was during an outdoor shoot.“Ajith revealed that they were staying at the hotel and a crowd used to gather outside every day. The hotel owner requested him to spare some time whenever he enters or exits the hotel, as the management was not able to control the crowd.

Somebody noticed and grabbed them by the hand. That guy was not in his senses. We didn’t know if he was drunk or what. He was in hysteria.“
