South star Ajith Kumar’s much anticipated film ‘Valimai’ will hopefully see a speedy final schedule and be ready for release soon. The makers had been facing some issues with the filming of the last schedule. While they were to earlier shoot in Spain, the cast and crew will now head to Russia around the 20th of this month to shoot the remaining portions. The change of location happened due to the second wave of Covid, which made them want to take extra precaution. Written and directed by H Vinoth, ‘Valimai’ stars Ajith in the lead, along with Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya in pivotal roles. Produced by Zee Studios and Boney Kapoor under his banner ‘Bayview Projects’, the movie also stars Pearle Maaney, comedian Yogi Babu and veteran actress Sumithra. Prolific cinematographer Nirav Shah has been roped in as the Director of Photography.
‘Valimai‘ is a high-octane spy thriller, apparently set in the backdrop of the car-racing world and will see actor Kartikeya as the antagonist. The final schedule is filled with some extensive action sequences that will reportedly be shot in a very slick and stylish manner. The makers are positive that the shoot will get done in a few days. The film is expected to go into post-production stage around the first week of September, so we could very well expect the release date to be around Diwali. The makers were anyway keen to have a festive release and now it looks like they may indeed get one!
Valimai is Ajith’s second collaboration with producer Boney Kapoor, after 2019’s ‘Nerkonda Paarvai’, (also helmed by director Vinoth) a remake of the hit Bollywood film ‘Pink’, headlined by Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu. The first song of the movie titled ‘Naanga Vera Maari’ created waves upon its release. It has already crossed 16 million views on YouTube and continues to trend and top music charts. The latest is that the makers are all set to release the second single from the film, so we can expect an announcement any day now!
