The first day first show of Ajith's much awaited 'Valimai' is all set to begin in exactly about eleven hours. Most theaters in cities are opening shows at 4 am and there is great demand for tickets as advance bookings have filled up within minutes.

Huma Qureshi who is playing the female lead has revealed that she was approached to play the female lead with Ajith but missed out. She wrote "Valimai is a very special movie in my career as I have got an opportunity to explore my potential. Director Vinoth sir has sketched my character as an honest cop that has plenty of action sequences to perform. Every time, when we used to get ready for the action blocks, I would be excited. Normally, an action-thriller movie will have such scopes for the male protagonists alone, but Vinoth sir has broken the stereotypical paradigm, by letting the female characters flex their muscles. Especially, I am very elated to see my role having lots of screen space.”

Huma has the highest praises for Ajith stating “Both of us were supposed to work together in Billa 2, but didn’t happen due to some reasons. When I got the call for Valimai, I was on cloud nine, as I am going to share the screen with one of the greatest actors in the Indian film industry. Ajith Kumar sir and I have lots of screen time together in Valimai, and the audience will definitely enjoy our scenes together.”

Written and directed by H. Vinoth, 'Valimai' is produced by Boney Kapoor under the banner Bayview Project LLP with Yuvan Shankar Raja scoring the music and Nirav Shah handling the camera. Ajith, Huma Qureshi, Karthikeya, Sumithra and Yogi Babu are the main cast members.

As evidenced in the teasers 'Valimai' contains many mind-boggling action sequences and will release worldwide in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu an Kannada. The expectations are sky high and the film is set to bring back audiences to theaters in huge numbers after a year according to trade analysts.
