Santhosh Narayanan and his wife approached Ajith for a picture at the airport, but the actor initially failed to recognize the composer.Ajith warmly wished Santhosh a successful career and then inquired about his work. It was Santhosh’s wife who listed the films that had featured her husband's music. Upon realizing who he was speaking to, Ajith immediately apologized to Santhosh Narayanan for not recognizing him and went on to share a few memorable moments with the composer.
Recently, an old interview with CinemaVikatan, where Santhosh Narayanan recalled this airport encounter with Ajith, has gone viral on social media, gaining attention despite no particular reason. Netizens have praised Ajith for his humility and kind gesture during the interaction.
Santhosh Narayanan, known for scoring music for blockbuster films like 'Kabali', 'Madras', 'Soodhu Kavvum', 'Mahaan', and many others, has yet to collaborate with Ajith. Fans are eagerly waiting for the much-anticipated team-up between the two.
On the work front, Ajith is currently working on two films, 'Vidaamuyarchi' and 'Good Bad Ugly'. After a long gap, Ajith is expected to have two back-to-back releases. The post-production work for 'Vidaamuyarchi' is progressing rapidly, aiming for a 2024 release, while the filming for 'Good Bad Ugly' is in its final stages.
