Ajith's next, Valimai finally gets a release date. The film will release on Diwali 2020. This will be Ajith's second Diwali release post 2015. Vedalam was his last Diwali extravaganza which did a good job at the box office. Recently, there was a huge commotion when the first look of the film was apparently leaked. Valimai: Thala Ajith Fans Claim THIS is the Actor’s Look From His Upcoming Film Produced by Boney Kapoor – See Picture Inside 

Fans were convinced this was from the Velimai sets. Ajith sported a handle bar mustache and his trademark grey hair. But the actor will start shooting the film from mid-December. So, it seems unlikely that it is from the same film. The film is apparently an action thriller where the actor will play the character of a racer.

Valimai is Ajith's second association with Boney Kapoor after Nerkonda Paarvai. The producer had earlier revealed to DNA, "I got to know him closely during the shoot of our Tamil film Nerkonda Paarvai. I was pleasantly surprised to know about his passion for racing and other sports. It was only natural that our next project together is a thriller that uses his passion for speed. I would love to have him in a Hindi film with an action backdrop."
