Recently we reported that Ajith only has an overseas schedule left of Valimai, for which he will be flying to Morocco or Spain. This outdoor filming is expected to take place for about a week, and with that the shooting of the H. Vinoth directorial will be wrapped.

While South media channels have been reporting of Ajith's wish to not release Valimai until COVID-19 has been brought under control, pinkvilla.com made an exclusive reveal recently of Valimai's release plans. A source close to the Boney Kapoor produced movie was quoted by the website as saying,

“Ajith and his producer, Boney Kapoor are clear on the fact that the film is meant to be enjoyed on the big screen and they are currently looking to release the film on August 12, 2021, considering that the tale also has nationalist element running in it’s backdrop.

 

The two anticipate an increased occupancy in the cinema halls by then, as the covid-19 scenario would get better. They are in no hurry to bring the film, as safety of audience matters more than anything else,” 

The source was also revealed about the first look release plans for Valimai by stating, "The first look of Ajith has been kept under wraps all through this while and the look will be unveiled only once the shoot is wrapped and film moves onto the post production,”
