Boney Kapoor on remaking Pink in Tamil and Telugu: 'A good film should reach as many people as possible'

Firstpost  

Veteran Hindi producer Boney Kapoor grabbed everyone’s attention in the South with Ajith’s Nerkonda Paarvai, the Tamil remake of Pink, and all set to begin shooting for the Telugu remake of the Big B and Taapsee Pannu-starrer with Pawan Kalyan. Talking exclusively to Firstpost on his new strategy of remaking content-driven Hindi films in Tamil and vice versa, the producer said: “A good film should reach as many people as possible. The idea is to make content that is good, stories worth telling whether those are original content like Maidaan or Valimai in Tamil with Ajith and H Vinoth or stories that are being remade like in case of Pink, Comali, Badhaai Ho or Article 15.” When asked whether filmmakers in Tamil and Hindi have started making universally appealing films, Boney said: “Emotions are always universal. Apart from these remakes, Boney is also bankrolling leading Tamil actor Ajith’s 60th film Valimai with director H Vinoth of Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and Nerkonda Paarvai fame.
