Ajith is a huge star in Tamil Nadu and he has a terrific fan following all across South India. Despite having such a huge craze, he failed to establish a stable market in Telugu states.
While heroes like Suriya, Karthi, Vijay, Dhanush and others are getting good money for the Telugu dubbed versions of their films, Ajith never bothered to promote his films in AP & Telangana.
He is now arriving with ‘Valimai’ and it is a complete action entertainer. Telugu hero Karthikeya will be playing the antagonist’s role in this flick which is hitting the cinemas on 24th February.
The trailer generated a decent buzz and reports suggest that the Telugu version did a decent pre-release business that can be recovered easily.
But the makers are yet to promote this film and people may ignore this huge film entirely since Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Bheemla Nayak’ is arriving on 25th February.
Though the film may get a good number of screens across the two states, all of them will be allotted to ‘Bheemla Nayak’ on the next day without a doubt. ‘Valimai’ is expected to have zero theatres in AP according to reports and ‘Bheemla Nayak’ is going to set the cash registers ringing for the entire weekend.
We need to wait and see how ‘Valimai’ Telugu dubbed version fares at the box office. Star music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja is the provider of tunes for this movie while Nirav Shah is the cinematographer.
Kadhir is the art director while Vijay Velakutty is the editor. Written and directed by H Vinoth, ‘Valimai’ is produced by Zee Studios and Boney Kapoor. The film features a lot of well-known actors like Huma Qureshi, Bani, Sumithra, Achyunth Kumar, Yogi babu and others.
