Commenting on the launch of their ambitious show, Mr. Rajaraman S, Business Head - Colors Tamil, said, "Colors Tamil is pleased to present Valli Thirumanam, which adheres to our philosophy of unique plotlines and inspiring storylines that have a social impact. It is about a strong woman who is a true personification of women's empowerment. Valli epitomizes the independent women of the present era, who think and act of their own free will. With this show, we hope to promote a woman's sense of self-worth while also showcasing her decision-making roles in the home. We are confident that Colors Tamil will appeal to all audiences alike, with Valli Thirumanam."

Set in the beautiful backdrop of Theni, Valli Thirumanam revolves around Valli, a warm-hearted woman moneylender, trying to make her place in the patriarchal world. Surrounded by people attempting to trick and betray her, Valli effuses a unique personality with her no-nonsense attitude and powerful demeanour, while camouflaging her kind and helpful nature beneath.

Karthik, on the other hand, is courteous and soft-spoken. He wants his better half to have the same attributes as he does. The plot is around how these two contrasting characters, who are diametrically opposed, come together and form a unique relationship.

The fiction show features a larger-than-life star cast with Nakshathra(Valli) and Shyam (Karthik) in the lead roles along with Actor Nalini (Vadivu), Comedian Nanjil Vijayan (Gundurasu), and Actress Gayathri Jayaram (Vasundra) playing supporting characters.

I am grateful to Colors Tamil for allowing me to be a part of this show."

Commenting on the occasion, actor Nakshathra said, "I am proud to be part of Colors Tamil. The channel has broken preconceived notions and created a unique material, particularly by creating strong female characters for television. I'm even more thrilled to be portraying a strong, independent woman who is willing to speak up for herself. According to me, my role will inspire women to overcome their worries and speak their opinions."
