Valimai shows the action-packed thriller with a good narrative about a police officer and a dreaded smuggler, the villain of the story.

The story revolves around the cop and the villain who provides crime jobs to the youth by employing them in day-light robbery and smuggling drugs to different regions.

Apart from Ajith, the film also cast Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya Gummakonda in other important roles.

The film experienced postponement as it was earlier scheduled to be made available to watch on theatres on 13 January but delayed due to a surge in cases of COVID-19.

Valimai is produced by Boney Kapoor and the music in the film is added by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Ghibran composed the background score in the film making it more engaging to watch.
