Thala Ajith is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of Tamil cinema but it is quite surprising to learn that he has even dominated Superstar Rajinikanth in terms of fan following and craze.
A recent survey conducted by People Studies has brought this huge surprise. As per the survey, Ajith surpassed Rajinikanth, who has been known as the biggest superstar in Tamil Nadu for almost three decades, to take the crown as most popular actor in Tamil Nadu.

| Ajith | 16 |
| Rajinikanth | 15.9 |
