Bankrolled by Bollywood filmmaker Boney Kapoor, Nerkonda Paarvai also stars Vidya Balan, Adhik Ravichandran, Arjun Chidambaram, Aswin Rao and Sujith Shankar. The film marks Vidya’s entry into Kollywood. It is also Boney’s first Tamil production.
Boney had earlier revealed it was Ajith who expressed his interest in the Tamil remake of Pink. In a statement, he said, “Ajith suggested remaking Pink in Tamil. She (Sridevi) immediately agreed with him as she thought it was the most appropriate and timely film to make and Ajith would bring all the elements required to make it into a great Tamil film.”
While shooting for English Vinglish’s Tamil version, Ajith had promised Sridevi that he will do a film in Tamil with her husband Boney Kapoor.
Talking about his collaboration with Ajith, Boney had said, “It has 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.”
Nerkonda Paarvai is expected to hit the screens in August.
