'Thala' Ajith injured in bike chase shoot for Valimai

Actor Ajith Kumar's 60th film, Valimai, is the superstar's second consecutive association with director H. Vinoth, producer Boney Kapoor's Bayview Projects LLP banner and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja after last year's blockbuster, Nerkonda Paarvai. Production on the upcoming film featuring Huma Qureshi as the female lead kicked off a while back with Ajith playing the role of a police officer in light of the action cop drama announced to be hitting theatres later this Diwali in November.

Of late, rumors sprung up online that director H. Vinoth was not pleased about Valimai's shooting getting extended owing to Ajith spending time manufacturing a model aircraft. However, it has now been revealed that all such reports aren't true and that in reality Ajith injured himself while filming a bike-chase stunt sequence during the recently wrapped up schedule in Chennai.

It is said Ajith's bike had skidded leaving him with bruises on his arms and legs after which the actor had taken a break for about 20 minutes and then continued to complete his portions. Ajith chose to visit his family doctor after finishing shooting his scenes and has been advised rest for the next few days. He will be joining the Valimai team again for the upcoming schedule in Hyderabad most likely from next week once he has recovered fully. We here at Galatta convey Ajith for a speedy recovery and expect to witness him in action once again soon. Get well soon, 'Thala'!
