Ajith’s 59th film will release on 1st May 2019

The shoot has begun and the date of release is also set! We are talking about Ajith’s upcoming film. Directed by ‘Theeran Adhigaram Ondru’ fame Vinoth, Ajith’s 59th will release on 1st May 2019. Produced by Boney Kapoor under the banner Bayview productions, the film is said to be a remake of the 2016 Bollywood film Pink. Ajith is said to play the lawyer, the same role Amitabh Bachchan in the film. The pooja and shoot of the film took place in Chennai yesterday. In a press release, Boney Kapoor spoke about his decision to cast Ajith in the film, and his willingness to fulfill his, late wife, Sridevi’s wish.

He said “While working together with Ajith for English Vinglish, Sridevi had expressed her desire that Ajith does a Tamil film for our home production to be produced by me. Nothing exciting came up till one day last year, Ajith suggested remaking Pink in Tamil. She immediately agreed with him as she thought it was most appropriate and timely film to make and Ajith would bring all the elements required to make it into a great Tamil film.

I am extremely happy about embarking on my production venture in South Industry, particularly in Tamil that has always been a special zone for me. In fact, it’s been a long journey involving both Ajith and me to collaborate for a film, which he took up as a sheer commitment from the time he shared screen space with my wife Sridevi in ‘English Vinglish’.

Accordingly, what we both earnestly looked up was a suitable content that will add a special mileage to our respective works. We are now delighted to have zeroed in the official remake of ‘Pink’. We are initiating the shooting process today and determined enough to hit the screens on the 1st of May 2019. We are subsequently doing another film together and that will be scheduled for a start on July 2019 and to be released on the 10th of April 2020. Both the films are supported by Zee. I am looking forward to a much more enjoyable and great experience working with him.

I have been following the works of Mr. Vinoth, who owns an impeccable cult of filmmaking. Especially, his previous release ‘Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru’ had amazed me incredibly for its raw and realistic treatment. The way he chooses unique story premises and transfuses them with engrossing narration assured me that he will be the right person to materialize ‘Pink’ in Tamil.”

Boney Kapoor has been a producer for the last 37 years and has produced several Hindi films. Reports are suggesting that director Priyadarshan’s daughter, Kalyani will be a part of the film as well. It is also said that director Aadhik Ravichander has been roped in to play a role. Yuvan Shankar Raja will compose the music for the film, while Nirav Shah is the cinematographer.
