Filmmaker Boney Kapoor’s maiden Tamil production venture Nerkonda Paarvai, starring Ajith in the lead role, debuted in Singapore on Tuesday.
“I am truly blessed. 9 am IST today Premiere Show of Nerkonda Paarvai will start in Singapore. I have managed to fulfil my wife Sridevi Kapoor’s dream (sic),” tweeted the producer.
It is said while shooting for 2012 film English Vinglish, Ajith had promised Sridevi that he will do a film in Tamil with her husband Boney Kapoor.
“It couldn’t have been possible without the support of #AjithKumar #HVinoth, entire cast & technicians. I shall always cherish this,” added the Nerkonda Paarvai producer.
Nerkonda Paarvai is the official Tamil remake of Hindi film Pink. It was Ajith who suggested remaking the 2016 film on women’s rights in Tamil. And, Sridevi immediately agreed.
