Ajith vs Vijay.PR Handout

Tamil actor Ajith Kumar is celebrating his 48th birthday on Wednesday, 1 May. Like every year, it will be a low-key day for him, but it is not going to stop his fans from celebrating the occasion in a big way.

What makes the fans special is the Tamil TV channels trying hard to attract the viewers' attention by screening his movies. The leading channels have lined up some of his hit movies to be aired from the morning till the midnight on 1 May.

Jaya TV is going to telecast some of his recent hit films that include Vedhalam. Among all the movies, Sun TV has planned for the world premiere of this year's superhit movie Viswasam.

The interesting part of the story is that rival Zee Tamil has decided to telecast Vijay's blockbuster movie Mersal around the same time. By scheduling it, the channel is apparently trying to draw the attention of the loyal Thalapathy's fans even though it is not the world premiere of the Tamil flick.

Mersal:
