New Delhi: Actor Ajith Kumar participated in the 47th Tamil Nadu State Shooting Championship that is being held in Trichy. The ‘Veeram’ actor won four gold and two bronze medals at the event. The actor is known for passionately pursuing his interests outside films like shooting and Formula Two racing.
Ajith’s pictures from the shooting championship being held at the Trichy Rifle Club had gone viral on Wednesday. The actor won gold medals in four team events including the CFP Master Men team event, the STD P Master Men team event and the 50 metres FP Master Men team event.
The Championship, which began on July 24, is scheduled to go on until Sunday.
Last year, the actor had won six gold medals at the shooting championship which was held in Chennai.
In 2003, the actor also participated in Formula BMW Asia Championship, finishing 12th over the season. In 2010, he participated in the FIA Formula Two Championship, the feeder series to F1 World Championship.
Apart from Ajith, Nana Patekar also participated in the National Shooting Championship in 2011.
On the work front, Ajith is currently working with H. Vinoth on his upcoming film that has been tentatively titled #AK61. The film's plot will revolve around a bank heist. Interestingly, the unit had erected a giant set resembling Chennai's popular landmark Mount Road in Hyderabad where certain important scenes of the film were shot.
The last schedule of the film is yet to get over. Once the film is done, Ajith is expected to move on to his next project, which is to be directed by Vignesh Shivan.
