== Pre-production ==

Valmiki was one of the eleven movies announced by [[Central Studios]] with [[M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar]] as the lead, following the success of blockbuster hit ''[[Haridas (1944 film)|Haridas]]'' and to be directed by [[Sundar Rao Nadkarni]]. Shooting commenced in 1944 with M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, but following his arrest in the [[Lakshmikanthan Murder Case]] and with uncertainty over his release, the producers, with filming in mid-way opted for [[Honnappa Bhagavathar]] as lead and all the lead actor scenes had to be re-shot.

== Plot ==

The film was based on the story of the Hindu sage [[Valmiki]] (played by Honnappa Bhagavathar), who starts as a [[bandit]] and eventually undergoes spiritual transformation into a religious mendicant. Valmiki falls in love with a princess (played by Jeevarathnam), who is kidnapped by the villain (played by [[T. S. Balaiah]]).
