Boney’s bringing Ajith to Bollywood for projects
PRODUCER Boney Kapoor has invited popular Tamil star Ajith Kumar to Bollywood, after being impressed with his performance in his upcoming production venture Nerkonda Paarvai, the Tamil remake of Pink.
Boney forayed into the southern market with Nerkonda Paarvai, which stars Ajith in the role of a lawyer.
“Saw the rushes of Nerkonda Paarvai. Happy. What a performance by Ajith. I hope he agrees to do Hindi films soon. Have three action scripts; hope he says yes to at least one of them,” he tweeted.
Ajith, who has predominantly worked in the Tamil industry, had starred in a key role alongside actor Shah Rukh Khan in Asoka, his sole Hindi outing.
Reports have already emerged that Boney is planning to get Ajith to do a Hindi film soon.
Directed by H Vinoth, Nerkonda Paarvai also stars Vidya Balan, Mahat Raghavendra, Shraddha Srinath, Andrea Tariang and Abhirami Venkatachalam. Apparently, it was the late Sridevi’s wish that Ajith does a film in her husband’s production.
“While working with Ajith in English Vinglish, Sridevi had expressed her desire that Ajith does a Tamil film for our home production. Nothing exciting came up till one day last year; Ajith suggested remaking Pink in Tamil. She immediately agreed, as she thought it was the most appropriate and timely film to make,” Boney had previously said.
The film features music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Boney confirmed that he had another project with Ajith in the offing.
