One of the most exciting projects in development now, Thala 59 aka. AK 59 featuring ‘Thala’ Ajith in the lead role will be directed by H. Vinoth of Sathuranga Vettai and Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru fame.
Being produced by late actress Sridevi’s husband, Boney Kapoor, under the Bayview Projects LLP, Thala 59 will be an official remake of the hit Bollywood film, Pink, with music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and Vidya Balan paired opposite Ajith. Furthermore, actress Shraddha Srinath of Vikram Vedha and Richie fame has now come on board and has been cast in an important role.
Producer Boney Kapoor has now issued a new official statement talking about Thala 59 where he says, “Sridevi herself was immensely happy with the core content we chose to work with. I am happy now to see that the entire project is getting materialized and is proceeding at its brisk pace.”
He adds, “Personally, I have always been a film buff, who curiously looks at the posters of any movies to see who’s who in the star-cast and technical crew. Films with good content need a perfect team to execute and deliver it. I am literally happy to have found such a team for my debut production through Bayview Projects LLP.”
The popular producer then talks about director Vinoth and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja saying, “Filmmaker Vinoth has proved himself to be a master of versatile craftsmanship in his erstwhile movies. His discipline and distinct commitment in translating the words into pictures absolutely as promised is brilliant. I always believe for any movies irrespective of genres of themes, ‘Music’ is the ultimate asset in elevating its substantiality. In this aspect, Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music has intensified the soul of movies, especially in the emotional context. This film has found more of such talents and powerhouses, who I believe will definitely escalate it.”
Boney Kapoor concluded with his insights on the cast of Thala 59 saying, “It’s nice to introduce Vidya Balan to the Tamil audiences. She is paired with Ajith and her role is a very special one. Shraddha Srinath has been displaying plenty of promise and we are casting her in a pivotal role. Rangaraj Pandey plays a very important character too. Director Adhik Ravichandran, Arjun Chidambaram, Abhirami Venkatachalam, Andrea Tariang, Aswin Rao, Sujith Shankar and others will add up the realistic chroma of this film.”
