Ajith
Kumar,
the
Thala
of
Tamil
cinema
will
be
next
seen
in
the
highly
anticipated
upcoming
project,
Valimai.
The
movie,
which
is
directed
by
talented
filmmaker
H
Vinoth,
has
garnered
the
attention
of
audiences
with
its
first
glimpse
video
recently.
In
a
recent
interview,
director
Vinoth
revealed
some
exciting
details
on
Ajith
Kumar's
character
from
Valimai.
In
the
interview
given
to
a
leading
Tamil
magazine,
the
filmmaker
confirmed
that
Thala
Ajith
will
not
have
a
love
interest
in
the
film.
Even
though
popular
Bollywood
actress
Huma
Qureshi
is
playing
the
female
lead
in
Valimai,
there
is
no
romantic
angle
between
the
characters
played
by
Ajith
and
the
actress.
Initially,
a
romantic
track
between
Ajith
Kumar
and
Huma
Qureshi
was
a
part
of
the
film.
However,
Valimai
underwent
a
major
change
in
its
story
and
characters
owing
to
the
pandemic
restrictions.
So,
the
makers
decided
to
omit
the
romantic
track
from
the
film.
Huma
will
now
be
seen
as
a
close
friend
of
Ajith's
character,
who
plays
an
important
role
in
taking
the
story
forward.
According
to
director
Vinoth,
several
actors
who
were
initially
roped
in
to
play
pivotal
roles
in
Valimai
were
replaced
at
the
last
minute,
due
to
the
pandemic
restrictions.
The
director
added
that
some
of
the
actresses
were
replaced
after
they
shot
for
a
few
portions,
as
they
were
unable
to
re-join
the
project
due
to
their
marriages
and
pregnancies.
As
reported
earlier,
Ajith
Kumar
is
playing
a
CBICID
officer
in
Valimai,
which
is
touted
to
be
an
out-and-out
action
thriller.
Popular
Telugu
actor
Kartikeya
Gummakonda
is
playing
the
lead
antagonist
in
the
movie.
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
has
composed
the
music.
Nirav
Shah
is
the
DOP.
Valimai,
which
is
bankrolled
by
Boney
Kapoor
and
Zee
Studios,
is
slated
to
be
released
on
Pongal
2022.
