Praise for Ajith

FILM producer Boney Kapoor, who has produced actor Ajith Kumar’s film Valimai, said the actor was a modest person who had nothing but passion for his profession.

Valimai released globally on Friday. Sharing details of his experience of working with Kumar, Kapoor said: “He is an actor of modesty who has mastered the discipline, has sheer passion for his profession, and has immense dedication.

“No wonder he is a most-sought actor among the producers. He has been a great support in getting this project shaped up as envisaged during the pre-production phase.”

The producer also praised the film’s director, H Vinoth.

“Film-maker Vinoth’s work in Valimai is beyond brilliance. He is a perfectionist who will leave no stone unturned to achieve his vision, but in a producer-friendly mode. The entire crew bonded like a family that helped us complete Valimai during this critically challenging pandemic phase.”

The movie is produced by Zee Studios and Kapoor.

Kapoor said Valimai would mark the beginning of pan-Indian releases for the actor.

“Ajith’s movie will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada.

“The film has emotional elements, family elements, outstanding action blocks and amazing performances by Ajith and the other members of the cast.”

Over-the-top (OTT) platforms have reportedly quoted high to procure Valimai for a direct premiere. However, Kapoor has refrained from taking this route.

“As a producer, I am confident that Valimai is a tailor-made movie catering to the pulse of the audiences. Of course, OTT platforms are opening wide markets for the movies, but a movie like Valimai is made for the theatrical experience.” |
