Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar‘s Valimai is up for theatrical release on the 25th of this month and the stakes are pretty high on the commercial action thriller. Coming to the topic, the glimpse video of Valimai has clocked over 1 million likes and this led to a new controversy. A few netizens are pointing out that team Valimai incorporated the paid likes model to pump up the likes tally for the glimpse video.
“Valimai Glimpse – Jan 31 – 969K likes. Before 20 hours – 971k Likes. Before 2 hours – 972k Likes. Now 1 Million Likes… 30K likes in 1 Hour ..” an eagle-eyed netizen pointed out. He is visibly annoyed with the whole development as he says Valimai unit has deployed a “Paid bots mafia” to pump up the number of likes to the glimpse video in order to build hype to the film.
The hashtag “#ValimaiPaidLikesExposed” is now trending India wide on Twitter and that pretty much sums up the gravity of the development. This is one of the most talked about topics on social media.
“Ajith insisted Suresh Chandra to do a Heavy Paid promotion for Valimai.. From YouTube Paid views to Paid Bots . Zee studios Telugu Paid ads yesterday..Today Valimai Glimpse reached 45k Likes in less than 90 mins. Mafia” A fan of Thalapathy Vijay wrote.
On the other hand, Ajith’s fans are stating that his haters are unable to digest the hype surrounding Valimai and they are propagating false news to build negativity for the film.
Regardless of any of this, Valimai is one of the most anticipated films to hit the big screens post the Covid third wave. The film is getting a grand pan-India release on the 25th of this month.
