Ajith Kumar Issues Written Statement

News of Ajith Kumar teaming up with producer Boney Kapoor for Valimai came out in 2019, and since then there have been no updates. Ajith's fans desperate for some news started the hashtag '#ValimaiUpdate' which has since then often been found in the top trending lists on Twitter. Recently, a video went viral on the internet in which a cricket fan was seen asking England cricketer Moeen Ali for an update of the film during the ongoing second Test match between India and England. Some fans have even begun requesting updates of the film from even political leaders during their rallies.

On February 15, producer Boney Kapoor took to Twitter to announce that the first look of Valimai is on its way.

Hours after his tweet, Ajith Kumar's representative Suresh Chandra posted an official written statement from the actor on Twitter, who began by expressing his disappointment with his fans' recent behaviour. The statement is written in Tamil which translates to, "The updates regarding the film will be given out in due time. Only after proper discussion with the producers, will I decide the date and time when those updates will be presented. I request you all to be patient until then."

The actor continued, "Cinema might be entertainment for you all, but for me, it's my profession. The decisions I take about the same will have their own impact on my career and on society. Only our actions reflect the respect we have in society. I request you all to maintain dignity and discipline in public and on online forums. I am sure that the ones who have true affection for me will keep this in mind," added Ajith. Check out Ajith Kumar's statement below:
