A plagiarism case filed against 'Valimai'

Ajith collaborated with director H Vinoth for three continuous films, and the duo's latest outing 'Thunivu' turned out to be a big hit. Ajith and H Vinoth's second union 'Valimai' was released in theatres on February 24, 2022, and the film gained over Rs 200 crores at the box office. However, almost a year after the film's release, a short film director named Rajesh Raja filed a complaint against the film at the Police commissioner's office in Chennai against the 'Valimai' team. Rajesh Raja has reportedly claimed that the 10 scenes from his short film titled 'Thanga Sangili' which was released in 2019 are similar to a few scenes from Ajith's 'Valimai'.
