After the tweet went viral, the actor’s fans and well-wishers are appreciating him for his contribution. On the professional front, Ajith will next be seen in the action-thriller Valimai directed by H Vinoth. Produced by Zee Studios and Boney Kapoor’s Bayview Projects, the film features Ajith in the role of a police officer. The much-awaited movie also has Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya Gummakonda playing pivotal characters. Originally, _Valimai_ was scheduled to get released last year in theatres but got delayed due to the pandemic. Coming back to the CM relief fund, actors Surya, Sivakumar, and Karthi have made a donation of Rs 1 crore fund as a family. While directors Udhayanidhi Stalin and AR Murugadoss too have contributed Rs 25 lakh each in the fight against COVID-19.
