After a nearly two-year delay, southern superstar Ajith Kumar's Valimai was released in theatres on Thursday and social media was flooded with celebratory posts from fans.
Theatres across Tamil Nadu, especially Chennai, were decorated with gigantic cutouts of the actor and had the first show scheduled as early as 4 am. Videos of fans pouring milk and showering flowers on Ajith's posters have been doing rounds in social media.
