Ajith Kumar requests his fans ahead of Abu Dhabi race

Ajith is currently busy participating and shining in Formula 1 car races. Recently he participated in  Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit. During a high-octane race, a video surfaced online which captured him asking fans to stay calm and urged them not to call him Thala or cause a commotion during the event.

In the video, Ajith can be seen asking someone, “Please behave yourself. This is not a theatre. Please,” urging fans not to call him Thala or create a commotion during motorsports events. Many images and clips online show him repeatedly requesting fans to stay quiet so he can focus.

The actor and racer made the request during the Yas Speed Festival 2026 on February 7-8, where he competed as driver and team principal for his own squad. Dressed in a racer jersey and jeans, amid cheering fans, Ajith urged calm so he could focus, echoing his past calls for quiet at temples and racetracks.
