Thala Ajith will soon start the shooting of Amitabh Bachchan’s Pink remake

Thala Ajith’s Viswasam has turned out to be the first choice for the Tamil audiences over Rajinikanth’s Petta at the box office. Honestly, this was expected to happen as Thala was coming after the gap over a year on the silver screen while Rajinikanth was last seen two months back in Shankar’s 2.0. Talking about the collections of two big Pongal releases Petta and Viswasam, the Siva directorial venture has grossed Rs 125 crore in 8 days while the Karthik Subbaraj’s film will enter the Rs 100 crore club by Sunday.

Though Rajinikanth’s Petta has performed better than Viswasam in the international circuits. Talking about the film, Viswasam features Nayanthara opposite Thala Ajith. The film marks the fourth collaboration between the director and Ajith after Vedhalam, Veeram and Vivegam. It also features Vivek, Thambi Ramaiah, Yogi Babu, Bose Venkat and Kovai Sarala in pivotal roles.

On the professional front, Thala Ajith will soon start the shooting of Amitabh’s Pink remake. The film will be directed by Vinoth and Boney Kapoor will bankroll it. Shoojit Sircar, the producer of the film earlier confirmed the news of Tamil remake and told TOI, “Yes, ‘Pink’ is being remade in Tamil. I don’t think I will direct it, but the team has said that they will show the film to me once it’s ready. As much as I love what Aniruddha did with Pink, I respect the fact that the makers in Tamil want to have their own interpretation of the story”.
