After a few delays, Ajith starrer Valimai is scheduled to hit the theaters on February 24. Even before its release, the film has created a lot of buzz among Ajith’s fans. In fact, some are already thinking about a sequel to the film or if it will become a franchise. All this chatter about the sequel of Valimai has reached the ears of the film’s producer Boney Kapoor.

In a recent interview with Pinkviila, the filmmaker said the thought about making Valimai into a franchise has come to his head and he assumes it might have also reached the head of the film’s director. Now, if the film will turn into a franchise or if it will have a sequel depends on Valimai’s performance at the box office. “Let’s hope the film does as well as the audience wants it to do, so obviously sequel will be on its way,” Kapoor said.
