Watch: Ajith Kumar unhurt after GT4 car crash in Italy, praised for humble gesture
In a video shared by the race's official page, Ajith was seen doing what very few professional drivers would — stepping in to help the marshals clear debris from the track immediately after the collision. The commentator said, 'Ajith Kumar out of the car, out of the race. It's the first significant bit of damage we've seen from him this year. He's a fine champ; he goes and helps the marshals clear up all the bodies. Not many drivers would do that.'
Out of the race with damage, but still happy to help with the clean-up.
Full respect, Ajith Kumar �

Social media erupted with praise for the actor. Ajith's gesture won over the racing community. He has been a part of the racing circuit since 2003 and continues to juggle his film career with his love for motorsports. He previously competed in the 2010 Formula 2 Championship and has long been regarded as one of the few Indian actors who balances cinema with high-level professional racing.
Earlier this year, the Indian government awarded him the Padma Bhushan, the nation's third-highest civilian honour, in recognition of his contributions to both cinema and motorsports.
While Ajith is currently taking a break from films, he is prepping for the third round of the GT4 European Series in Belgium. On the cinematic front, he is reuniting with Good Bad Ugly director Adhik Ravichandran for his next project, though details remain under wraps.
Good Bad Ugly was released in early 2025 and became Tamil cinema's highest-grossing film to date.

'Maareesan' movie review: Fahadh Faasil, Vadivelu salvage this slow-burn thriller
Maareesan begins with an intriguing sequence of a rat that's let out of its trap and scurries inside a room — only to find a python. Director Sudheesh Shankar uses this sequence to establish that there are snakes and rats among us, inviting us into a guessing game that keeps us engrossed for the most of its 152-minute run time. And that is no mean feat, despite some stumbles. We're soon introduced to Dhayalan (Fahadh Faasil), a petty crook who's just been released from prison. He is soon back in action, stealing a smartphone from a temple and a bike from a movie-hall without fuss. Dhayalan is also a pragmatist: he beats the retreat when an alert commuter gives him a stern glare. Faasil channelises his characteristic humour, sarcasm and street-smarts that reminds you of his iconic role from the 2017 Malayalam crime drama Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum. Yet, in your mind, you're harking back to the opening sequence, asking yourself whether he's is the rat or the snake. He enters a house to pilfer its valuables when he comes face to face with Velayudham Pillai (Vadivelu), an Alzheimer's patient. Their opening exchange is one filled with humour, and a deal gets struck out of exasperation, after which the movie kicks into top gear. Hat-tip to V Krishna Moorthy, for dialogues littered with humorous wordplay. Dhayalan and Pillai soon set off on a road-trip across Tamil Nadu. The difference between them couldn't get starker, and that makes for compelling cinema. One's trying to escape his past; the other is losing his future. One bursts out in words, as in a river in full spate; the other's sedate like a still pond. Maareesan 's makers must be congratulated for putting an Alzheimer's patient as the protagonist without the fuss, sympathy and pathos. The condition is explained as not what Suriya suffers in Ghajini (2005) but almost like Sridevi in Moondram Pirai (Sadma). It's a treat to watch one of Tamil cinema's celebrated comedians not get mined for easy gags. 'Life must be pretty easy for you,' Dhayalan says. 'You can commit any crime and not have memories of it.' Pillai's response comes almost as a punch to the gut: 'What's life if there are no memories?' Yuvan Shankar Raja does well to punctuate the scene with silence and no background music. The duo ride past lush, green fields, run into a goat and smooth-talk out of the situation and break out into an impromptu rendition of Aaha inba nilavinile, a song from the 1957 epochal hit Maya Bazar. There are passing meta references to Vadivelu's Madurai origins and Faasil as the master actor. Kalaiselvan Sivaji's cinematography ensures you're looking at a video of Tamil Nadu tourism, highlighting its beauty. It feels like the Kamal Haasan, Madhavan-starrer Anbe Sivam met the Steve Martin drama Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Importantly, Faasil and Vadivelu bring their A-game to the fore and you're left spellbound. Maamannan (2023) had the two in opposing camps, but here they're together. They hit it out of the park with their earthy and authentic portrayals. There's little to dislike. A stage drama that renders Ilayaraja's yesteryear hit Nethu oruthara oruthara paathen dovetails into the narrative seamlessly. Yet, you keep wondering that something's gotta give… and the rat and snake. Something does give, during the interval block, or in the lead-up to the interval, when what seems like a slice-of-life drama enters thriller territory. And that's when Maareesan mis-steps. The second half ditches everything it had built in the first half and goes in for a different tone. You'd be forgiven for rubbing your eyes and wondering if you entered the wrong theatre. It shifts gears, yes, but the shift feels too abrupt. A bulging flashback that could have done with some trimming, police praising vigilantes and a perfunctory twist in the end. If you were wide-eyed with wonder until the interval, you'd turn wide-eyed with disappointment in the second. The routines and formulae that Tamil cinema was beholden to over the decades return with a vengeance. And as a viewer, all you can do is sigh. A twist in the end saves the proceedings a bit, as Faasil and Vadivelu hold it all together. The character Maareesan from the Hindu epic Ramayana is a master of disguise, but in the movie you wish the disguise was limited.

Godolphin's globetrotting legend Rebel's Romance chases historic King George crown
The eyes of the global racing world will turn to Ascot on Saturday, July 26, as Rebel's Romance, the most prolific horse in Godolphin's storied history, lines up in the Group 1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, seeking a historic first British top-level victory to add to his glittering international résumé. The £1.5 million midsummer highlight at Ascot is not just the richest all-aged flat race in Britain; it is a battleground of champions, a race where legacies are written, and reputations either crowned or crushed. For Dubai-owned Rebel's Romance, trained by Charlie Appleby, the 2025 edition offers another chance to cement his name in the British record books. With 18 career wins, including 14 in Group company and a remarkable seven at the top level, Rebel's Romance has already secured his place in history as Godolphin's winningest horse of all time since the stable was created in 1993. His Group 1 triumphs stretch from North America to Germany, from Hong Kong to Dubai, where he stormed to victory in the 2023 Dubai Sheema Classic. And yet, one prize continues to elude him: a Group 1 victory on British soil. That could change on Saturday. Appleby Upbeat 'Rebel's Romance goes into this in great order,' said Appleby. 'There was plenty of strength in depth in this contest 12 months ago, when he ran a good race, and it looks a similarly strong renewal this time around. 'He is taking on younger opposition again, but, wherever he finishes, the others will know that they have had a race.' Indeed, Rebel's Romance ran an admirable third in last year's King George and returns to Ascot in flying form. Three wins from four starts this season include a commanding performance in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes over the same course and distance at Royal Ascot in June, a clear signal of his readiness. This is a race that holds special resonance for Dubai racing fans. The King George has previously been won by legendary Godolphin runners like Swain (1997 & 1998), Daylami (1999), Doyen (2004), and Adayar (2021), while other Dubai-owned stars such as Postponed and Poet's Word have added their names to the honour roll. It all began in 1988 with Mtoto, the first Dubai-connected horse to capture the race. Rebel's Romance now carries the royal blue silks into that elite company. But the road to glory won't be easy. Rival Loom Among his key rivals is heavily fancied Calandagan, representing France, who returns to Ascot off a Group 1 breakthrough in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, the colt seeks to emulate stablemate Goliath, who won this race last year. Ireland's challenge is led by Jan Brueghel, the 2024 Coronation Cup winner and reigning St Leger champion. Only one horse, Conduit in 2009, has pulled off the rare St Leger–King George double in recent years. Trainer Aidan O'Brien strengthens his hand with Continuous, Lambourn, and Whirl - each a Group winner, each a potential spoiler. British hopes rest partly on Kalpana, the Juddmonte filly who impressed in last year's Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes, while rounding out the field is Green Impact, a lightly raced contender from Jessica Harrington's yard in Ireland. Saturday's King George is more than just a big-money clash. It's a mid-season summit of elite middle-distance talent colliding for supremacy. For Rebel's Romance, a Group 1 crown in Britain would not only be the ultimate homecoming triumph but a fitting jewel in an already glittering crown.
