Ajith’s role as a father in ‘Yennai Arindhaal’ was very heart-touching. He played a retired police officer who takes care of a girl child whose mother he was supposed to marry. After the demise of Trisha (His lover), Ajith takes up the role of a full-time father. The movie did not bring Ajith’s fans to their emotional core in his father role as the girl who portrayed his onscreen daughter was not his real daughter. However in his next film 'Viswasam', the audience was easily able to connect with him as a father as it was his own daughter.
