Tamil star Ajith Kumar and Bollywood filmmaker Boney Kapoor, have signed yet another project together. The two are currently collaborating on the Tamil remake of Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu-starrer 'Pink' titled 'Nerkonda Paarvai'. If reports are to be believed, Ajith has been paid £10 million for the three-film deal.
While details about the third movie are yet to be known, reports indicate that it could be a high-octane action script that will be shot across exotic locations around the globe. There already are stories that suggest Ajith might play a racer in his next film.
'Nerkonda Paarvai', meanwhile, is gearing up for release on August 10. Directed by H Vinoth, the movie features Ajith as a lawyer, and marks the Tamil debut of Vidya Balan in a crucial role. It also stars Shraddha Srinath, Andrea Tariang and Abhirami Venkatachalam. The project is a child sprouted of Ajith's promise to late actress and Kapoor's wife Sridevi who had wished her husband produces a film with Ajith.
Director Vinoth opened up about the project and said, "I know about Ajith sir fans. I have had a tough journey to build a career, and a mistake could spell disaster. I realised that there could be two issues - how his fans would consume this film and a how a cult film that has admirers across the country could be remade by retaining the essence. We should first at least understand half of 'Pink'."
He added, "The challenge was also to find the right cast and crew. I told Ajith sir these issues and that I was afraid to do this film. He told me that he would not pressurise me and told me to concentrate on another script."
