Boney Kapoor recently produced Nerkonda Paarvai, the Tamil remake of PINK, with Ajith in the lead role, which the filmmaker said was Sridevi's dream. He had said that after working with Ajith in English Vinglish, Sridevi wanted Boney Kapoor to cast the south actor in one of his films. "Ajith suggested remaking PINK in Tamil. She immediately agreed as she thought it was most appropriate and timely film to make," Boney Kapoor told IANS. Ahead of the film's release, Boney Kapoor also tweeted, "I am truly blessed... 9 am IST today premiere show of Nerkonda Paarvai will start in Singapore. I have managed to fulfil my wife Sridevi Kapoor's dream..."
