Ajith
Kumar's
big-budget
film
Valimai
has
been
in
the
news
ever
since
the
makers
announced
it
not
too
long
ago.
The
action-thriller
went
on
floors
in
the
second
week
of
December
and
as
per
reports,
the
makers
are
currently
filming
some
action
sequences
in
Chennai.
Directed
by
H
Vinoth,
the
film
is
being
produced
by
Boney
Kapoor.
While
Ajith
Kumar
is
apparently
playing
the
role
of
a
police
officer
in
the
film,
rumours
are
rife
that
the
makers
have
got
Bollywood
actress
Huma
Qureshi
onboard
to
play
the
female
lead.
However,
an
official
announcement
regarding
the
same
is
still
awaited.
Talking
about
the
cast,
reports
on
social
media
have
been
hinting
about
Prasanna
starring
in
the
film
and
playing
a
baddie.
However,
that's
not
true.
Earlier
in
the
day,
Prasanna
himself
took
to
Twitter
and
clarified
about
him
not
being
a
part
of
the
film.
He
released
a
statement
wherein
he
expressed
deep
disappointment
for
not
being
able
to
share
screen
space
with
Thala
Ajith.
The
Azhagiya
Theeye
actor
has
said
in
his
statement,
"I,
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you,
who
with
so
much
love
wished
and
wanted
me
to
be
part
"Valimai".
I
was
equally
thrilled
that
the
talks
were
on
and
was
hoping
to
make
the
biggest
announcement
in
my
career
ever.
But
unfortunately,
this
wonderful
opportunity
to
share
screen
with
our
"Thala" isn't
happening
this
time.
Inspite
of
the
deep
disappointment
I
am
feeling
all
the
more
stronger
with
all
your
love.
There
is
always
a
next
time
and
am
sure
I
will
be
playing
that
dream
part
opposite
"Thala"
sooner.
Love
you
all
so
much.
Keep
sending
me
your
love.
That's
all
I've
got."
The
37-year-old
actor
has
two
films
in
the
pipe-line.
First,
he
will
be
seen
in
Mafia:
Chapter
1
alongside
Arun
Vijay
and
Priya
Bhavani
Shankar.
And
later
this
year,
he
will
be
seen
in
Thupparivaalan
2
which
went
on
floors
in
November
2019.
