The Hollywood Reporter India has unveiled a striking cover featuring Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar, perfectly capturing the actor-racer’s dual life. The November 2025 issue spotlights Ajith clad in a pristine white racing suit, leaning casually against a red McLaren at Dubai Autodrome. The cover, shot by Ben Cope, frames the perfect dichotomy of his world: high-octane thrill on the racetrack and meditative calm off it. The magazine’s tagline, “speed and stillness coexist,” couldn’t be more fitting.
Ajith Kumar, with over 60 films under his belt, is celebrated not only for his commanding screen presence but also for his impressive motorsport career. In 2025, he secured a podium finish—third place in the European Endurance Championship’s AM Class—competing with his own Ajith Kumar Racing team. The cover shoot blends these two passions, showcasing a man for whom adrenaline and focus are not just pastimes but defining elements of his life.
Ben Cope’s photography emphasizes Ajith’s intensity and serenity simultaneously. The Dubai Autodrome setting adds a cinematic flare, echoing his life off-screen where speed fuels both his competitive spirit and personal mindfulness. It’s a visual narrative of someone who balances cinematic stardom with real-world racing precision.
This issue of THR India doesn’t just celebrate Ajith Kumar as a superstar—it celebrates the philosophy he embodies: embracing thrill without losing one’s center. Fans can pick up the magazine on stands now, and the cover story offers a deeper dive into how Ajith navigates the worlds of film, motorsport, and personal reflection with equal mastery.
