On the occasion of the Ajith's completion of 23 years in Indian cinema, we take a look at his filmography to pin point films that are worthy of a Bollywood remake

Long before Dhanush took Bollywood by storm with Kolaveri Di and Raanjhanna, there was Ajith Kumar who made a rather subdued entry in Bollywood with 2002 flick Asoka alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

Though B-town might miss out on the excellent acting skills of Ajith, the magic of his films can be recreated in Hindi cinema.
