Ajith and director H Vinoth’s third collaboration Thunivu released in Theatres on January 11, 2023 and became a massive hit. The actor-director duo had collaborated for three films and now it turns out, their second collaboration Valimai, which released on February 24 last year has landed in legal soup.

Valimai, which gained over Rs 200 crore at the box office is now in trouble. Almost a year after release, a short film director Rajesh Raja has filed a complaint against the film at the Police commissioner’s office in Chennai. As per a report in ETimes, Rajesh Raja has reportedly claimed that the 10 scenes from his short film Thanga Sangli which was released in 2019 are similar to a few scenes from Ajith’s Valimai.

Reports further state that Rajesh tried meeting Vinoth several times to discuss the matter but was unable to meet the director. Subsequently, Rajesh has now reached oyt to the police commisioner’s office to find a solution to his problem. However, what has caught attention is the fact that the complaint has been filed almost a year after the film’s release.
