This film marked the second collaboration between Ajith, Vinoth and Kapoor after Nerkonda Paarvai (2019). Vinoth wrote the script in mid-2018, but Ajith initially declined it and asked him to work on it later. The idea was later pitched in January 2019 with Kapoor agreeing to fund the project and was launched officially in mid-October 2019, announcing its title as well. Principal photography began in December 2019 in Hyderabad and was completed with February 2021, irrespective of production being disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Major portions of the film were shot across Chennai and Hyderabad, in addition to a few sequences in Russia, which was filmed during late-August and early-September 2021.
The film was in the news for a long time, due to the persuasion of fans to launch an update regarding the project, leading to a campaign named #ValimaiUpdate, that influenced sports, politics and other events as well. It eventually led to being listed as one of the most-anticipated Tamil films according to trade circuits. After being delayed multiple times, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions being prevailed in India, the film released worldwide on 24 February 2022 and opened to mixed reviews from critics.
In Chennai, a gang of daredevil bikers are involved in numerous drug rackets, chain snatching, and murders. They are all members of Satan's Slave, headed by Naren a.k.a. Wolfranga. With the exponential increase in such crimes pushing the police into a dilemma, the commissioner assigns this case to ACP Arjun Kumar IPS from Madurai, who is known for his peculiar way of handling justice; breaking one of the limbs of the accused so that they never repeat the crimes again. This attributed to the moral values instilled by his mother, and he is loved and respected by society. Arjun is the sole breadwinner in his family consisting of his mother, his drunkard older brother and his wife, his married younger sister and younger brother Ashok "Kutty", an unemployed graduate. Ashok is constantly looked down by his sister's in-laws - whose daughter he is in love with - for his unemployment, and this worries Arjun and his mother.
Collaborating with his partner and friend Sophia, Arjun soon finds the corpse of a man in a hostel whose friend had betrayed the gang and supplied the drugs to him. However, the latter hangs himself and burns the drugs. Arjun finds the man's helmet in his room and finds out that he was a chain snatcher who had used a stolen bike purchased from an online classified store. Arjun and Sophia both figure out that there is a sequence of crimes, robberies, chain snatching and murders. These crimes are done by a biker gang. The bikes used in the crimes by the bikers had been bought from the same platform using stolen mobile phones and the dark net. Arjun deduces that all these crimes are done by the same organization. Arjun sends one of his colleagues, posing as a mercenary, to thugs retired from the drug peddling business to find out the kingpin behind the crimes. After finding out that Wolfranga is the leader, Arjun chases and fights him and the gang and arrests them, but to his shock, finds out that Ashok had also been involved in the crimes. En route to prison, the biker gang attacks the convoy, kills the policemen and aid Wolfranga to escape. Arjun tries to corner him, but he is hit on the head by Ashok, who escapes with the gang.
Arjun gets demoted from the case due to Ashok's involvement, and the case is handed over to DCP Rajangam and IG Anbarasu, both of who are envious of Arjun. Unbeknownst to the department, Rajangam and Anbarasu are mules of Wolfranga and do not pay heed to the case. Arjun's mother refuses food and drink out of guilt of seeing Ashok going astray, prompting him to take the matter into his own hands and solve the case himself. With Sophia's help along with that of few trusted aides in the cybercrime department, Arjun captures one of the mules and asks him about the gang and how his brother got entangled into the dirty business; he reveals that Ashok had become acquainted to Wolfranga after he was humiliated in front of his family by his sister's in-laws on his unemployment status and as a result refuses to marry their daughter to him. Wolfranga brainwashes him by saying that family is a selfish lot whose affection is merely a ruse to enslave their children to serve them in their old age. Wolfranga runs his business using unemployed graduates who have faced humiliations due to unemployment and as a result are motivated only by the desire that "money buys everything." After fishing out the discarded stolen bikes from an abandoned quarry, Arjun is accoladed and is reassigned the case. Arjun and Sophia both plan to expose Rajangam and Anbarasu's involvement with Wolfranga to the Commissioner. Wolfranga kidnaps Arjun's family and holds them hostage and instructs Arjun to steal a metric ton of seized cocaine from the treasury to release them, but Wolfranga tells Rajangam to kill Arjun and pin it on Ashok and hand him the seized cocaine in the name of destroying them by burning. Wolfranga tries to brainwash Ashok into shooting his mother and loads a single bullet into a gun and tells Ashok that it is empty and asks him to pretend to shoot his mother in order to shake her selflessness, but realizing his mother's love and her readiness to die for him, Ashok inadvertently shoots Sarah, Wolfranga's lover. Ashok reunites with his family but is badly beaten and taken hostage as well.
Arjun successfully orchestrates a plan with Sophia by stealing the cocaine, baiting it and capturing both Rajangam and Anbarasu and the remaining mules. Arjun arrives at the hideout and finds Wolfranga. A fight ensues and Arjun emerges victorious; his team successfully hacks Satan's Slaves server and redirects the bikers to the hideout. Upon arrival, they find Wolfranga dead, and are surrounded and arrested by the police force. At the station, Arjun advises the bikers that everyone has their own problems but the best way is to struggle and strive and that crimes are not the solution. He also inculcates the importance of the parents' love for them and the pleasures they forfeited for their children's sakes and releases them. The case is successfully closed and Arjun and the police force are applauded by the public. Owing to their efforts, the police organizes a program to rehabilitate youngsters from depression and drugs.
Soon after the release of director H. Vinoth's second film Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017), he approached actor Ajith Kumar. However, Ajith declined the project and asked the director to work on the Tamil remake of the 2016 Hindi film Pink titled as Nerkonda Paarvai. In January 2019, Boney Kapoor announced the second collaboration with Ajith Kumar and director Vinoth for another Tamil film, titled as Thala 60. Kapoor also stated that, the film will have racing sequences, suggesting that the movie would be an action thriller genre that uses the actor's passion for speed. It was reported that Vinoth had written the script with another actor in mind, and with Ajith's involvement, he had to make changes in the script. The film's production was expected to launch on 29 August 2019, But delayed.
A formal launch ceremony for the film was held on 18 October 2019, at the office of Kapoor's production house. The makers also announced the title of the film as Valimai. Yuvan Shankar Raja was hired as the film's music director, and Nirav Shah was confirmed as the cinematographer. Art director Thota Tharani was reported to join the film's technical crew, but was replaced by K. Kathir.Editor Vijay Velukutty and stunt choreographer Dhilip Subbarayan too were a part of the technical team. Sources claim that Ajith will essay the role of a police officer, and he will sport two different looks,[30] with one of them being similar to Ajith's bald look in Vedalam (2015), but it did not feature in the film.
On the release of the trailer glimpse on 23 September 2021, many cinephiles noted about the storyline revolving around the Satan's Slaves Motorcycle Club, which was founded in Shipley in the mid-1960s, and later spread on to various countries including Germany, North America, Scotland and Australia. They were known for the heinous activities being involved such as drug peddling, trafficking in stolen goods, gunrunning, extortion, and prostitution; it's film's plot has a resemblance to the documentary covered on the outlaw motorcycle club, titled Sons of Anarchy. Vinoth however revealed that the storyline will be loosely based on a group of outlaw motorcyclists involving in heinous crimes and how the protagonist tracks them down, hinting that the history behind Satan's Slaves Club gave its reference.
In an interview with Ananda Vikatan, Vinoth stated that he had partially re-written the script before the resumption of the film's shooting, being halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He stated that some of the actors were hesitant to shoot during the pandemic and the location owners denied permission to shoot on the sets that were constructed in the pre-pandemic times. As a result, he had to re-write the story and change the location and setting, due to practical difficulties.
Writer-director Trivikram Srinivas was hired for the film's screenplay and dialogues. S. Thaman was signed to compose the music with cinematography by Prasad Murella, editing by Naveen Nooli and production design handled by AS Prakash. In July 2021, Murella opted out of the project and cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran joined the film as the replacement.
Sai Pallavi was approached to play opposite Kalyan, while Aishwarya Rajesh was cast to be a pair with Daggubati. In March 2021, reports emerged that Pallavi may not join the project but director Saagar K Chandra refuted them by stating that she would join the production in April. However, Pallavi eventually opted out due to scheduling conflicts. In July, Nithya Menen was cast in place of Pallavi while Samuthirakani is signed to play a pivotal role. In September, Aishwarya left the project due to scheduling conflicts. Samyuktha Menon was confirmed to replace her in October. In December 2021, Brahmanandam confirmed through an interview that he was playing a role in the film.
Casting
In an interview with Gopinath Rajendran of Cinema Express, Vinoth had stated that Ajith's character is modelled on a real life racer-turned-police officer. He said, "When Jayalalithaa ma'am was the Chief Minister, a bike racer was made an SI directly. We have taken that as an inspiration for this character, who is an ex-racing professional turned cop". The makers approached Janhvi Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra to play the female lead, thus marking their debuts in South Indian cinema, but both the actresses denied the offer due to call sheet issues. While there have been questions surrounding over the film's female lead, with Ileana D'Cruz and Yami Gautam were under consideration, Huma Qureshi was cast as a lead, in her second Tamil film after the Rajinikanth-starrer Kaala (2018). She portrays Ajith's friend in the film and there might not be any romantic scenes with the lead actor, due to the scripting changes made by Vinoth.
Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn was reported to play the antagonist, he could not act in the film due to his commitments to RRR. Similarly, Arvind Swamy refused to be part of the film, since he was then shooting for Thalaivii. Prasanna was also reported to play a pivotal role in Valimai, but he turned down the offer. Later, the makers finalised Telugu actor Kartikeya Gummakonda as the antagonist, making Valimai his Tamil debut. Vinoth stated that the antagonist is "a strong character who believes in his ideology". Apart from Kartikeya, two other antagonists, were reported to be featured in the film, with Pavel Navageethan of V1: Murder Case (2019) fame, and Malayalam actor Dhruvan reportedly playing the respective roles. In October 2021, Vinoth had reported that Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas was the initial choice for the antagonist before Kartikeya was finalised.
Raj Ayyappa who played the antagonist in 100, plays Ajith Kumar's brother in the film. A leaked picture of the film in December 2020, features Achyuth Kumar and Sumithra in the film's cast, The latter was reported to play Ajith Kumar's mother in the film, which the makers stated her character as a crucial one in the film. Popular television actor Pugazh was reported to play a pivotal role in the film. G. M. Sundar, Selva, television actress Chaitra Reddy (in her film debut), Pearle Maaney (in her Tamil debut) and Dinesh Prabhakar, were other actors who appear in supporting roles in the film.
Filming
Principal photography of Valimai was expected to begin on 13 December 2019, but the shooting was launched two days earlier at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. The makers filmed an action sequence for Ajith in Hyderabad, which was completed within two weeks. Soon after the completion, the team planned for a three-day shooting schedule, at Rekha Gardens in Chennai, and parts of the city. It was reported that, Ajith met with an accident during the filming of a bike sequence before completing the schedule in Chennai, which resulted in the film's delay. Filming was reportedly halted in March 2020 due to the pandemic, where, the team planned to shoot few sequences, which include car and motor race at Switzerland, within April 2020, and also planned to shoot in Spain and Morocco, after the COVID-19 lockdown in India. However, the pandemic affected the foreign shooting schedules, which made the team to make major changes in the shooting plan, with the planned foreign schedules to be shot across India.The post-production works of the film did not happen after Ajith's request.Nearly 60% of the shoot completed before the lockdown imposed.
After multiple delays, the film's shooting plan was resumed on 23 September 2020, with Kartikeya joining the shoot. Major portions of the film were shot at Red Hills in Chennai. The makers stated that, Ajith will join the film's shoot by January 2021 and planned to complete the shoot within February, as more than 50–60 days of shoot is pending, including the actor's portions which will be completed within 30 days. It was reported that a popular Hollywood stunt choreographer, was hired to direct the few action sequences, which will introduce a new-style stunt in Tamil cinema. In October 2020, the team planned to shoot few sequences at New Delhi, but after the government denied permission to shoot the film citing the coronavirus pandemic, the makers chose Hyderabad as the shooting schedule.
Ajith Kumar joined the sets in Hyderabad, after which he resumed shooting on 25 October, despite reported that he will start the shoot in early 2021. In an interview with an online portal, H. Vinoth stated that the makers may not cancel the foreign schedule because the crucial scene involves more international stuntmen. In mid-November 2020, it was reported that Ajith may take a month-long break in order to start the next phase of the shoot in Hyderabad. After the shoot being resumed, the makers filmed a stunt sequence with Ajith performing a bike stunt without body double, however the actor lost his balance while performing a stunt, and fell off the bike. Despite sustaining injuries, Ajith completed the schedule without delay. As of December 2020, the makers have completed 80% of the film's shoot and talkie portions, whereas the songs and stunt sequences were yet to be under completion. It was further reported that the makers planned to film the major stunt sequences in foreign countries post lockdown relaxations, with a major schedule in South Africa and Spain, where high-octane bike stunts will be filmed in the country. The film's shooting was wrapped on 15 February 2021, barring the foreign schedule, which was filmed in Russia during 26 August 2021 and was completed on 2 September, thereby shooting of the film was wrapped.
Speaking to an interview before the release, producer Boney Kapoor said that the film has been shot within 150-working days, while several days have been lost due to COVID-19 lockdown and travel restrictions, thus taking more than one-and-a-half years. Out of this 80 days were utilised for the action sequences and for those, the team arranged 150 motorbikes and 15–20 cars, with 4 brand new models, for the schedule. Furthermore, they also had 25–30 bikes imported from Russia, after shooting being completed, the team sold the bikes for half price.
Post-production
Post-production works for the film began during mid-February 2021. Vijay Velukutty, who worked in films such as Sangu Chakkaram (2017) and Jackpot (2019), was announced as the editor in the same month. He edited several portions of the film, except for the foreign schedule, which was speculated to be included with the edit, once the said shooting gets completed. In the intermediate period, several actors completed dubbing for the film, including Ajith Kumar who dubbed for his portions in March 2021. The team also worked on the visual effects and supervision in order to get the film ready. With the foreign schedule held in Russia, being completed within September 2021, the team resumed activities on post-production. The team needed to edit the final cut of the film, due to the inclusion of that particular sequence, and more work on the visual effects, eventually delaying the release. Ajith Kumar asked Vinoth to show the rough output of the film to him when the final edit was ready. He initially watches the entire film after its release. But due to the actor's curiosity and excitement of the film, as it has many racing sequences, and also his profession as a racer, he decided to change his plans and was received a rough copy of the film by Vinoth.
Ghibran who has worked with Vinoth in his second directorial Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, was reported to compose the film score. Sources reported that Vinoth and the production team were not impressed by the score that Yuvan had created for the film, which resulted him to opt out of the project, despite composing the songs. However, the film's sound engineer-audiographer M. R. Rajakrishnan, in an interview, had claimed that Yuvan could not come to the final mixing[disambiguation needed of the score, in the last moment, which resulted in Ghibran's involvement to the project. Ghibran worked on the re-recording and final mixing of the film score with Rajakrishnan. Sachin Sudharakaran and Hariharan M. of Sync Cinema worked on the sound design of the film. In an interview to The New Indian Express, the duo expressed about the recording of motorcycles and superbikes. They felt that, "the actual bike might not sound optimal for the visual, and we would interchange the sounds to find the perfect match. Since it wasn’t feasible to record the sound on the sets, we would record it separately. The makers' decision to retain the bikes even after the shoot came in handy for us Recording a bike would also mean we would fit the mic on the rider as he rode it, and record the sounds of the engine and muffler separately."
The film was given a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in January 2022. According to a report from the production team, the Board had ordered 15 cuts for the film, including muting and removing excessive use of violence and profanity. The final cut has a running time of 179 minutes.Valimai was mixed in Auro 11.1 surround sound technology, becoming the second Tamil film to do so after Vishwaroopam (2013).The final mixing happened at Four Frames Sound Company on 10 February 2022, fourteen days before the film's theatrical release.
Ghibran composed the original score in his second collaboration with director H. Vinoth after Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and his first collaboration with Ajith Kumar and producer Boney Kapoor, while Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the songs, in his second collaboration with Vinoth and Boney Kapoor after Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) and eighth collaboration with Ajith Kumar after Dheena, Billa, Aegan, Mankatha, Billa II, Arrambam and Nerkonda Paarvai. By February 2020, Yuvan composed two tracks for the film. However, due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, the progress of the film's music album was put on hold. Work on the film's songs were completed by late-October, and recording of the tracks began during mid-December 2020 at composer A. R. Rahman's AM Studios in Chennai, with the studio's chief sound engineer S. Sivakumar worked on the film's audiography. The film's soundtrack has different set of songs, consisting of various genres. Lyrics for the songs were written by Vignesh Shivan, Thamarai and rapper-cum-lyricist Arivu.
On 2 August 2021, collaborating with Ajith's 30th anniversary in the film industry, the makers released the first single "Naanga Vera Maari" on the same night, and received response from critics. The track "Mother Song" was released as the second single on 5 December, and the third single from the album – an instrumental track titled "Whistle Theme" was released on 22 December. Sony Music India, which acquired the marketing rights of the album, released it on New Year's Day (1 January 2022) through Spotify, iTunes and YouTube Music. However, two of the tracks were taken down from the album, from the respective platforms, as the tracks revealed the plot of the film, before eventually being restored to the album, a day before the film's release.
Despite the film's title being announced in October 2019, there was no update regarding the film's first look. In April 2020, Boney Kapoor claimed that the team will not indulge in any promotional activities citing the pandemic, and also stated that the team will kickstart the promotions post-lockdown. However, there was no clarification about the film promotion or first look which prompted fans of Ajith Kumar to trend the hashtag #ValimaiUpdate on Twitter.[citation needed] Furthermore, the producer had confirmed that the first look will release only after the film's shooting being wrapped. Although few members of the production team claimed that the first look will release on the end of February 2021, some of the fans had prompted for the film's update at sporting and political events and other public venues, which left Ajith Kumar disappointed and asked his fans to remain patient till the team releases an update. Although the film's first look was scheduled for a release on the first week of March, the producer tweeted that the makers will unveil the first look on 1 May 2021, coinciding with Ajith's birthday. However, a week prior to the said date, on 23 April 2021, the makers postponed the release of the film's first look due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in India.
While the makers planning to launch the first look with release date,[153] on 11 July 2021, without pre-announcement, the makers launched the first look and motion poster of the film. Apart from receiving positive response for fans praising Ajith's look in the film, the motion poster received more than 10 million views on YouTube, within 48 hours. However, it also fetched criticism as cinephiles apparently noticed that similar images from the poster are widely available on the internet, alleging that the makers have lifted random images from the internet and made it into a motion poster. Few netizens also stated that the motion poster did not meet its expectations. The making video of the film released on 14 December 2021, and was praised by fans and audiences.
Prior to the film's release, the marketing team branded the film's posters in hoardings and LED displays located at various transportation services such as bus stops, railways and also at the Chennai Metro's vestibule. Two pre-release events were held for the film. The first event to promote the film's Kannada version was held at Bangalore on 21 February 2022, and the second event to promote the film's Telugu version was held in Hyderabad, the following day. Few cast members, including Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya, travelled through several cities to promote the film. SIMCO, the Central Government's South Indian co-operative departmental store functioning in Vellore announced a bid for its share that consumers whom purchase grocery items worth ₹2,999, will receive complimentary tickets for the film amounted to ₹500 and might serve popcorn and cold drinks for free.
Release
Theatrical
Valimai was initially scheduled to release in November 2020, coinciding the festival of Diwali. However, the film's shoot was suspended due to the pandemic, thus resulting in the delay of its release. Post-completion of shooting, the film was initially scheduled to be released within late-2021. In mid-September 2021, the producers tweeted that the film is postponed to Pongal in January 2022, thereby clashing with other big-budget films including S. S. Rajamouli's RRR and Prabhas' Radhe Shyam. The Multiplex Association of India (TMAI), listed the release date as 14 January 2022, in their official press release; however, the production company officially announced that the film would be released on 13 January, a day before Pongal.
In December 2021, theatre owners and exhibitors in Tamil Nadu, planned to open shows to begin at 1:00 AM in order to get more screenings, thereby enhancing the box office collection. The makers too persuaded the Government of Tamil Nadu regarding permission for benefit shows. A week before the release, the film was postponed indefinitely due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, fuelled by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, and the sudden restrictions imposed by the government to control the pandemic. In early February, It was confirmed that the film is now scheduled to be released on 24 February 2022. Apart from Tamil, the film will be released in dubbed versions of Hindi, Kannada and Telugu languages along with the original version. A planned release of a Malayalam dubbed version, was put on hold due to closure of theatres in Kerala, as a precautionary measure to control the rise of COVID-19 cases in Kerala. With theatres being reopened in Kerala during mid-February, after relaxations, the makers reinstated to release the Malayalam-dubbed version along with the original on 24 February.
Following the release, the film received criticism for its length. Responding to the criticism, the makers trimmed all versions by 12 minutes, except the Hindi version, which was shortened by 18 minutes. The edits came into effect by 25 February 2022.
Screenings and statistics
According to trade industry sources, Valimai will be released in over 1000 theatres across Tamil Nadu. Film financier G. N. Anbu Chezhiyan's Gopuram Films, which distributed the film in Madurai, had announced that Valimai will be released in all over 27 theatres across the district with 45-50 shows being allotted. This came as a response, due to Ajith's exponential growth of the fanbase in Madurai, and the response for the actor's previous films there. Four days before the release, on 20 February 2022, the makers started the state-wide advance bookings in Tamil Nadu, and saw tremendous response within few hours, according to trade exhibitors, with tickets being sold out within a day. The first show in Tamil Nadu is expected to begin at 4:00 AM. Reports from News18 had anticipated that "Valimai is expected to shatter records" as it did not have any major release in the vicinity, and also expected the film might revive the Tamil film industry which was affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and bring a similar response to that of Master (2021).
