Producer Boney Kapoor, who is eagerly looking forward to the release of his maiden south Indian production venture Nerkonda Paarvai, has announced that his second Tamil production, with actor Ajith Kumar, will go on floors from August end onwards.
Excited about successfully working on Nerkonda Paarvai, Kapoor took to Twitter to thank the film's team: “A big thank you to the entire unit of Nerkonda Paarvai for working towards August 8th release. Happy to announce our next AK60 with Ajith Kumar, H Vinoth and Zee Studios will start with pooja end August 2019.”
The industry grapevine is that AK60 will have a racing backdrop and will be shot in exotic locations like South Africa, Budapest and the Middle East. Ajith is rumoured to be playing a car racer.
There are also reports suggesting that actor SJ Suryah has been signed to play the antagonist. However, an official announcement from the makers is yet to be issued.
Meanwhile, Nerkonda Paarvai is gearing up to be released on 8 August. The film is the official remake of Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu-starrer Pink.
The film stars Vidya Balan, Shraddha Srinath, Andrea Tariang, Abhirami Venkatachalam, Adhik Ravichandran and Rangaraj Pandey in crucial roles.
Vidya, who is making her Tamil debut with this project, will be seen playing Ajith’s wife.
The film, which features Ajith in the role of a lawyer, has been directed by H Vinoth and will feature music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, while popular lensman Nirav Shah has cranked the camera.
