It is undeniable that Thala Ajith is a demi-god for his fans and they celebrate him as one of their own family members. He has die-hard fans across different walks of life and is one of the most celebrated gentlemen in Tamil cinema. In this age of social media dominance, fans of stars flood different platforms with posts about their favourite stars' upcoming movies and when any of these movies release, the fans of the heroes ensure that the movie's title trends on social media. It is speculated that Ajith Kumar’s upcoming film Valimai might be pushed to Summer 2021. Though this news is not official yet, it is very unlikely for the film to release this year since half the film is yet to be shot.
Ajith Kumar had two releases last year in the form of Viswasam and Nerkonda Paarvai, one minted money at the box office while the other went on to win people's heart. After Nerkonda Paarvai, Ajith has teamed up with director H Vinoth once again for a stylish action cop thriller Valimai. This movie, bankrolled by Boney Kapoor under his Bayview Projects LLP banner, went on floors during flag end of 2019. Thala fans were hoping for the film to release for Diwali 2021 but due to the outbreak of Corona the film is likely to be pushed to 2021 which means Ajith will not be having any releases this year. Ever since the release of Amaravathi in 1993, Ajith has had film releases almost every year. 2009, 2016 and 2018 are the only three years he has not had a single film release. It looks like 2020 might join this list now.
