Valimai is an action-thriller produced by Zee Studios and Bayview Projects. It stars Ajith in the role of a police officer who will be seen sporting two different looks. One of them will be similar to the bald look which he sported in Vedalam in 2015. It also features Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya Gummakonda.

Helmed by H Vinoth, the film has been shot entirely in Hyderabad’s Ramoji city. It is Vinoth’s second consecutive project with Boney and Ajith after Nerkonda Paarvai, the official Tamil remake of Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu starrer Pink.

Valimai was supposed to get released last year but got delayed due to the pandemic.
