He would play cards with his friends, like Rajendra Kumar, at a club at Sea Rock Hotel.South Indian director T Prakash Rao wanted to make a film called Suraj with Rajendra Kumar and Vyjayanthimala. Premnath was to play the villain but actresses were not comfortable working with him. So Rajendra Kumar suggested Ajit's name. Rajendra Kumar told Ajit to try villain roles. Ajit agreed and started doing villain roles. He tasted success with Zanjeer, Yadon Ki Baraat, Kalicharan... the rest is history.
