#ValimaiUpdate
Despite the film’s title being announced on October 2019, there was no update regarding the film’s first look. In April 2020, Boney Kapoor claimed that the team will not indulge in any promotional activities citing the COVID-19 pandemic, and also stated that the team will kickstart the promotions post-lockdown. However, there was no clarification about the film promotion or first look which prompted fans of Ajith Kumar to trend the hashtag #Valimaiupdate on Twitter. Furthermore, the producer had confirmed that the first look will release only after the film’s shooting being wrapped.

Although few members of the production team claimed that the first look will release on the end of February 2021, some of the fans had prompted for the film’s update at cricket stadiums, political events and other public venues, which left Ajith Kumar disappointed and asked his fans to remain patient till the team releases an update.Although the film’s first look was scheduled for a release on the first week of March, the producer tweeted that the makers will unveil the first look on 1 May 2021, coinciding with Ajith’s birthday. As of April 2021, the release of the film’s first look was postponed due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in India.
