Since his father was a Railway Station Master who was working at [[Kollam]], he was brought up at [[Kadappakada]] in Kollam and adopted [[Kollam]] as the suffix for his name.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.malayalachalachithram.com/profiles.php?i=5660|title=Kollam Ajith|website=Malayalachalachithram.com|accessdate=8 April 2018}}</ref>

He went to the director [[Padmarajan]] to become an assistant director but, seeing his talent, Padmarajan cast him in his movie ''[[Parannu Parannu Parannu]]'', and thus made his debut in a Malayalam movie in 1984. After that, he was a permanent actor in all Padmarajan movies. He turned director and scriptwriter in the Malayalam movie ''Calling Bell''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/bollywood/kollam-ajith-turns-director/62457/story.htm|title=Kollam Ajith turns director|website=Nowrunning.com|accessdate=7 April 2018}}</ref>
