Is Valimai a Real story?

During the launch of the film's trailer, film's director H Vinoth had shared that the film's plot is 'loosely based on a group of outlaw motorcyclists, involving in heinous crimes, and how the protagonist tracks them down'. The filmmaker hinted that the history behind Satan's Slaves Club gave its reference. Satan's Slaves Motorcycle Club was founded in Shipley in the mid-1960s. It later spread to various countries like Germany, North America, Scotland, and Australia. The club was famous for its heinous activities like drug peddling, trafficking, gunrunning, extortion and others. The film's plot has a resemblance to the documentary named, Sons of Anarchy, which highlighted the outlaw motorcycle club. 

In the teaser as well, one can see that the video opens with a powerful dialogue by the villain, Karthikeya, who says, "We are the slaves of Satan. The dark web is our world." One can see a symbol of a dangerous bike club in another frame, giving them a peek at the intriguing premise of the film. Earlier, in an interview as well, Vinoth had shared that when Jayalalithaa became the Chief Minister, a bike racer was made a Sub-inspector directly, and he has taken an 'inspiration' for the lead character, who is a former-racing professional-turned-cop.
