Valimai starring Ajith Kumar in the lead role is one of the most-awaited Tamil films of the year. The movie also stars Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya Gummakonda in pivotal roles.

On Tuesday (21), Kartikeya celebrates his 29th birthday, so the makers of Valimai have unveiled his first look poster. Boney Kapoor, who is producing the film, tweeted, “Team #Valimai wishes a very Happy Birthday to talented @ActorKartikeya .

Kartikeya will be seen playing the main antagonist in the film which is directed by H. Vinoth. Valimai will mark his Tamil debut.

He started his acting journey with the Telugu film Prematho Mee Karthik (2017) but rose to fame with the 2018 release RX 100. Later, he featured in movies Hippi, Guna 369, Gang Leader, and 90ML.

RX 100 is being remade in Hindi as Tadap. Directed by Milan Luthria, the movie stars Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan Shetty, and Tara Sutaria in the lead roles.

Talking about other films of Kartikeya, the actor will be seen in a movie titled Raja Vikramarka. The teaser of the movie was released a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, fans of Ajith Kumar are super excited for Valimai. The first song of the movie was released last month and it has received a great response.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
