Boney Kapoor to Remake Badhaai Ho and Article 15 in Tamil Following Success of Ajith’s Nerkonda Paarvai?

On August 8 Nerkonda Paarvai hit the big screens, a remake of the Hindi film Pink. Starring Ajith Kumar in the lead, who is fondly called as Thala Ajith, this film was a big hit not just in Chennai but around the world. This was the first Tamil film produced by Boney Kapoor, and now it is heard that following the success of Nerkonda Paarvai, Kapoor is going to remake two other Hindi films in Tamil. According to a Chennai-based trade expert, Boney Kapoor is going to remake Badhaai Ho and Article 15.

Badhaai Ho starred Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Surekha Sikri in the lead. The story revolving around a middle-age couple, who get pregnant, leaving their adult son upset, not only received positive reviews but was also a commercially successful film. Article 15 directed by Anubhav Sinha was again an Ayushmann Khurrana starrer. The crime drama was based on Article 15 of the Indian Constitution and was also inspired by true events, 2014 Badaun gang rape allegations and 2016 Una flogging incident. This critically acclaimed film was also a hit at the box office. And now if a remake is happening, South Indian movie buffs would be happy about it.

Here’s the tweet shared by Ramesh Bala:

On July 29 Boney Kapoor confirmed that he is making AK60 with Thala Ajith and it will be directed by Nerkonda Paarvai director H Vinoth. He also said that the project will be rolled by end of August. However, he did not mention anything about the film. So would it be again a remake? Let’s wait for an official announcement from Kapoor!
