With Thala 59 production already underway, there have been rumors that Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor would be making her Tamil film debut in the upcoming Ajith film. That said, when we contacted sources close to us in the film, they had revealed all such speculations to be baseless and denied them completely.


AK 59 is an official remake of the smash hit Bollywood film, Pink, which had Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles and went on to become a rousing critical and commercial success.
