The moment fans were waiting for, gasping for, is finally here. Thala Ajith is back with Valimai, an action-packed adventure drama that has Blockbuster written all over it, at least that's what the trailer suggests so. The trailer barely gives you time to breathe or blink, with the kind of action it showcases, and Superstar Thala Ajith like never before.
The climax and opening sequences were shot in the ancient city of Kolomna of Moscow Oblast, informs a source from the unit. "Ajith and Kartikeya [Gummakonda] shot bike-based stunts and chase scenes along with local Russian stuntmen on the streets of Kolomna, which boasts of architectural splendours, including the Kolomna Cathedral, the Kolomna Kremlin, and the Church of John the Baptist," says the source, adding that post the camera-work people of Kolomna showered their love on Ajith with gifts and memorabilia. "One of the drivers, Alex, who often drove technicians and the local crew to the location, gifted Ajith chocolates and a T-shirt."
The film is written and directed by H. Vinoth. It also stars Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi. With the shooting wrapped up, Kapoor and writer-director H. Vinoth are now concentrating on the post-production of Valimai. "Boney hopes to announce the release date of the film by mid-September, once he gauges the time required for the post-production work," says a source.
