After
a
long
hiatus,
the
makers
of
Ajith's
Valimai
recently
unveiled
a
few
updates
of
the
film.
Apparently,
the
makers
revealed
that
the
superstar
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
a
CBCID
officer
named
Eeswara
Murthy
in
the
action
entertainer.
It
was
also
said
that
a
few
actors
were
replaced
in
the
film,
as
they
were
reluctant
to
shoot
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Well
now,
the
film
has
grabbed
headlines
for
another
reason
which
has
a
lot
to
do
with
its
budget.
Reportedly,
Valimai
has
now
become
Thala's
highest
budgeted
movie
and
the
major
reason
behind
the
same
is
it
being
long
overdue.
For
the
unversed,
the
film
was
supposed
to
hit
the
theatres
last
year
but
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown,
the
team
postponed
the
release
indefinitely.
However,
the
budget
of
the
film
gradually
amounted
to
Rs
25
crore
eventually
increasing
the
total
budget
due
to
the
delay.
With
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
gripping
the
nation
yet
again,
the
makers
are
said
to
be
dubious
about
the
film's
release.
As
of
now,
the
team
is
left
with
a
few
more
days
to
shoot
and
post
the
lockdown,
the
cast
and
crew
members
will
be
flying
abroad
to
shoot
their
final
schedule.
Written
and
directed
by
H
Vinoth,
Valimai
is
backed
by
Boney
Kapoor
under
Bayview
Projects
LLP.
Starring
Huma
Qureshi,
Karthikeya
Gummakonda,
Yogi
Babu,
Shivaji
Guruvayoor,
Pavel
Navageethan,
Pearle
Maaney,
Achyuth
Kumar
and
Gurbani
Judge
(VJ
Bani)
and
Sumithra,
the
film's
technical
team
includes
music
composer
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
and
cinematographer
Nirav
Shah.
Though
the
film's
title
was
announced
in
October
2019,
the
first
look,
teaser
and
trailer
of
Valimai
are
yet
to
be
revealed.
