A plagiarism case filed against Ajith’s ‘Valimai’ almost after a year of its release | Tamil Movie News

Ajith has collaborated with director H Vinoth on three consecutive films and the duo’s latest film ‘Thuunivu’ has become a huge hit. Ajith and H Vinoth’s second alliance ‘Valimai’ is in theaters on February 24, 2022 and the film has grossed over Rs 200 crores at the box office. However, almost a year after the film’s release, a short film director named Rajesh Raja filed a complaint against the film to the police commissioner’s office in Chennai against the ‘Valimai’ group. Rajesh Raja is said to have stated that the 10 scenes in his short film titled ‘Thanga Sangili’ released in 2019 resemble a few scenes from Ajith’s ‘Valimai’.
The reports added that Rajesh Raja had tried to meet H Vinoth several times before to discuss the matter but he was unable to reach the director. Therefore, Rajesh Raja finally contacted the police commissioner’s office to find a solution to his problem. What caught everyone’s attention was that the complaint was filed almost a year after the film was released.

‘Valimai’ is about the policeman’s battle against a drug mafia gang in the city, and his battle to save his younger brother, who has a connection to the gang. Ajith plays a cop, while the film also features Huma Qureshi, Kartikeya, Raj Ayyappan, Gurbani Judge and Sumithra among others playing key roles. Yuvan Shankar Raja scored the music, while the cinematography was handled by Nirav Shah.
