On the work front

Reports suggest that Ajith Kumar was shooting for H. Vinoth's Valimai when the 21-day lockdown was declared by PM Modi. The shooting of the upcomer has been temporarily stopped due to the lockdown. According to reports, the makers were planning to shoot a few high-octane stunt sequences in Spain. However, the makers are planning to scrap the outdoor schedule of the Ajith Kumar starrer in the wake of the Coronavirus crisis. The upcomer has Huma Qureshi as the lead opposite Ajith. Reports suggest that Huma Qureshi will have a meaty role in the action thriller.
