Ajith Kumar expressed his possibility of retiring from films

When Ajith Kumar is at the peak of his acting career, his unpredictability towards life is hinting towards an early retirement plan.

The actor also addressed his possibility of leaving films. Addressing the same, Ajith said:

“You never know! It’s not about me planning when to retire, I could be forced into retirement. I don’t want to take anything for granted. People complain about life. To wake up and feel alive itself is a blessing. I am not being philosophical here. I have been through surgeries and injuries. I have friends and family who are cancer survivors. We understand how valuable life is – just to be alive. I want to make use of every second of my life – want to make the most of it.”
