Vidya Balan confirmed to star in Tamil remake of Pink

The Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and Kirti Kulhari starrer Pink, which was one of the most successful films of 2016, is set for a Tamil remake. The remake stars southern superstar Ajith in the lead role. Ajith essays the same character which was played by megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the original film.

Recently, there were reports that National award-winning actress Vidya Balan was roped in to put up a special appearance in the movie. Looks like all reports were true as the same has been confirmed by the film’s producer Boney Kapoor.


Talking about Balan’s presence in the remake, Kapoor says, “I wouldn’t call it a special appearance. There are certain changes that the director (H Vinoth) has incorporated to suit the Tamil market, and Vidya’s character has been accordingly written. We hope to bring the remake of Pink to theatres on May 1, 2019.”

Meanwhile, Vidya Balan is presently shooting for her upcoming film Mission Mangal. Also starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu and Kirti Kulhari in significant roles, the space odyssey movie is set to release on 15th August, 2019.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
