This was one of the first films where Ajith fully embraced his natural "Salt and Pepper" look, making it a style statement for millions of fans.
Moving away from urban thrillers, Veeram showcased Ajith in a traditional Veshti avatar, which resonated deeply with family audiences in Tamil Nadu.
Veeram tells the story of Vinayagam (Ajith), an honest but hot-headed elder brother who looks after his four younger siblings. To keep his brothers safe and avoid the complications of family life, Vinayagam swears off marriage. However, the younger brothers, desperate to see their "Anna" happy, plot to make him fall in love with Kopperundevi (Tamannaah Bhatia), a peace-loving woman who hates violence.
