Valimai,
the
action
thriller
that
features
Ajith
Kumar
aka
Thala
Ajith
in
the
lead
role,
is
one
of
the
most
anticipated
upcoming
projects
of
Tamil
cinema.
The
shooting
of
the
Ajith
starrer
is
currently
put
on
hold
due
to
all
India
lockdown.
Reportedly,
the
makers
have
zeroed
in
a
release
date
for
Valimai.
If
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
H
Vinoth
directorial
has
been
slated
to
hit
the
theaters
on
May
1,
2021,
the
50th
birthday
of
lead
actor
Ajith.
Valimai,
which
was
earlier
slated
to
be
released
by
the
second
week
of
January
2021
as
a
Pongal
special
release,
has
been
delayed
once
again
due
to
the
coronavirus
threat
and
lockdown.
The
makers
were
said
to
be
considering
releasing
Valimai
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
itself.
But
the
team
changed
the
decision
later
to
avoid
the
box
office
clash
with
Annaatthe,
the
upcoming
Rajinikanth
starrer.
Annaatthe,
which
marks
Rajinikanth's
first
collaboration
with
hitmaker
Siva,
has
been
slated
to
hit
the
theaters
worldwide
on
April
29,
2021.
In
that
case,
Thala
Ajith
will
not
have
any
releases
for
another
year,
to
the
much
disappointment
of
his
fans.
However,
the
makers
of
Valimai
are
yet
to
make
an
official
confirmation
on
the
same.
The
next
schedule
of
the
action
thriller
might
go
on
floors
only
in
September
2020,
after
the
world
completely
overcomes
the
coronavirus
threat.
Ajith
Kumar
is
appearing
in
the
role
of
a
police
officer
once
again,
in
Valimai
which
marks
the
actor's
second
collaboration
with
director
H
Vinoth
and
producer
Boney
Kapoor
after
the
success
of
Nerkonda
Paarvai.
Bollywood
actresses
Yami
Gautham
and
Huma
Qureshi
appear
as
the
female
leads
in
the
project.

Shankar
Raja

score.
