Ever since the most awaited “Valimai” starring Ajith kumar and Huma Qureshi released in theatres, the film is being strongly compared by the fans who watched a Tamil film named “Metro” which got released in the year 2016. Fans who felt that the plot of both the movies are same, opined their views in online platforms and few went on to state that “Valimai” is a copy of “Metro”. Now, Director Anandha Krishnan who made “Metro” himself came up with a tweet opening about the similarities between his film and
“Valimai”.

“Valimai” revolves around a cop named Arjun who is about to hunt a biking gang which is involved in causing harm to the people of Chennai by providing drugs, committing murders and chain snatching by using their bike riding skills. When Arjun is all set to nab them with his experience in Police department, he comes to know about his own brother being the part of the evil gang.

Rest of the film lies on whether Arjun saved his brother and youngsters from tthe head of the evil gang. “Metro” also contains similar plot with aspects such as “Drug consumption”,  “bike riders”, “Chain snatching”, “brothers sentiment” etc. Check out some of the comparisons that were made in online platforms :

வலிமை படம் பார்க்கும்போது மெட்ரோ படம் தான் ஞாபகம் வந்தது…

பைக்கில் போய் செயின் அடிக்கிற சீன் அப்புறம் இளைஞர்களே எப்படி ஆசையைத் தூண்டி தப்பு பண்ண வைக்கிறது அப்படின்னு தெளிவாக சொல்லியிருப்பாங்க…

Reacting tot the comparisons, Metro director Anandha krishnan came up with tweet in his twitter handle, writing “Right from the 1st show of #Valimai, I’m receiving calls regarding the comparison. This might just be a tiny inspiration or mere coincidence. The film is running good and bringing back Tamil cinema into life. As a fanboy, can’t wait for #Ajith sir’s next film”
