Valimai trailer opens with English subtitles with a chase sequence, with Ajith and Huma burning on the trail of a rogue motorcycle gang. You will see some elaborate bike stunts in the video, which will undoubtedly give you some adrenaline rush. Kartikeya Gummakonda is the gang leader and makes a good impression as a villain, which appears unstoppable until they encounter the police officer played by Ajith Kumar.
In an interview with a daily, the director of the film Vinoth revealed some interesting details linked with Former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu late CM Jayalalithaa. The film Valimai is about bikers. While researching various bikers early during the scriptwriting, Vinoth stumbled upon the anecdote of how late CM Jayalalithaa, who directly appointed a bike racer as a policeman, was a policeman after being quite impressed with his riding skill set.

Then, the team tried looking for the biker to hear his life story but couldn’t track him down. Hence, the team of Valimai took that one incident as their motivation for the film's idea. Valimai was announced in late 2019, and it was said to be released in 2020. But all thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, the movie was put on hold. The trailer garnered over 3.4 lakh views already on YouTube.
