Thala 59: Vidya Balan also part of Ajith’s next

As we all know, actor Ajith’s next is with ‘Theeran’ fame H Vinoth. Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor, husband of late actress Sridevi, is entering K-Town by producing this movie. Shoot has already commenced, but Ajith is yet to join the team. The movie is the official remake of acclaimed Hindi film, ‘Pink’. Ajith will be reprising the role played by Amitabh Bachchan in the original.

As per latest reports, the Tamil remake will also have Vidya Balan in a major role. Her character is said to be specifically added in the remake. If it turns out to be true, Thala 59 (working title), will be her debut Tamil film. ‘Pink’ directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury discussed some sensitive issues about women’s rights and dignity. It won widespread critical acclaim and bagged the National film award for Best Film on other social issues.

According to the makers of the Tamil version, it will not be a scene by scene remake. The script has been adapted to suit the sensibilities of the audience. It will be interesting to be seen how Vidya Balan’s part has been added in the remake.

Thala 59 has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography handled by Nirav Shah.
