There has been much buzz and speculation regarding the Tamil remake of the film Pink. Earlier, there were reports that Ajith was acting in the Tamil remake, which would be directed by director H Vinoth.

The original film, which dealt with the issues of patriarchy and sexism, had Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role and turned out to be a hit in Hindi.

However, the rumours were quashed and it was said that Ajith and Vinoth are working on an entirely new film.

Now, it is confirmed that the film is indeed getting a Tamil version. Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, the creative producer and writer, of the Hindi original version, said, "Yes, 'Pink' is being remade in Tamil. I don't think I will direct it. The team said they will show me the film once it is ready. As much as I love what Aniruddha did with Pink, I respect the fact that the makers in Tamil want to have their own interpretation of it."

It is still unclear whether Ajith will reprise the role of Amitabh Bachchan or another actor will be roped in for the film.

Ajith, who has wrapped up the shoot of Viswasam, is on a vacation with his family. Viswasam is all set to hit the screens on Pongal 2019. It will lock horns with Rajinikanth's Petta.
