Kollywood star Thala Ajith‘s Valimai is one of the most anticipated films in the Tamil film industry. On September 22, producer Boney Kapoor took to social media and confirmed Valimai’s release date.

According to the post, Valimai will hit the theatres on Pongal 2022. The film’s shooting was wrapped with a short schedule in Russia last month. Valimai is a cop drama directed by H Vinoth.

Earlier last month, Ajith wrapped up the entire shoot of Valimai in Russia. In the last schedule, he shot for a high-octane stunt sequence. After wrapping up the shoot, Ajith went on a 10,000 km bike trip across Russia. He also plans to go on a world tour on his bike.

Meanwhile, Team India’s senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was also been a victim of #ValimaiUpdate campaign during England’s tour of India.

Recalling the hilarious incident during the India vs England match, Ashwin had revealed, “I was standing at the boundary line when I heard someone calling me ‘Thala Ashwin… Ashwin..’ When I responded, the person asked me, ‘What about Valimai update?’ I was totally confused at the question. Then I went back and Googled [what it meant] … I couldn’t stop laughing after that. How could I have made sense of the Valimai update while playing cricket?”

However, the off-spinner has now come with an answer.

Ashwin posted a tweet in which he mentioned “Valimai Updated” following the details of the glimpse of Thala Ajith that is scheduled to be released on September 23.
