Thala Ajith was on a road trip again and this time, he rode his bike from Pune to Chennai! He seems to be continuing his road safety campaign and this time around, the actor, it seems, wanted to explore the traffic culture in the country via his bike trip.

A source close to the actor says, “After wrapping up a small patch work for Arrambam, Ajith drove his bike from Mumbai to Pune, to shoot for Veeram. After completing his 20-day schedule for the film, he decided to ride back from Pune to Chennai in his bike. With the help of a road map, he rode more than 1300 km for about 19 hours in his bike with all the necessary safety gear. This road trip is to continue the road safety campaign and also to get to know more about the traffic culture in India. He has always wanted to discover that.”

It looks like the star had a great time during his biking expedition — which was evident by the fact that he stopped for lunch and dinner at a couple of highway dhabas, experiencing the local cuisine as well. The source adds, “He felt that the road trip was like meditation. It gave him a lot of time to contemplate his other future plans too. He enjoyed eating out at the roadside shops and has been telling his friends about how rejuvenating this recent trip was.”
