Boney Kapoor got emotional and tweeted that he has "managed to fulfil Sridevi's dream." He also thanked Ajith and H Vinoth, the director of Nerkonda Paarvai.
Here's what Boney Kapoor tweeted:
I am truly blessed 9am IST today Premiere Show of @nerkondapaarvai will start in Singapore. I have managed to fullfil my wife Sridevi Kapoor’s dream
— Boney Kapoor (@BoneyKapoor) August 6, 2019
It couldn’t have been possible without the support of #AjithKumar #HVinoth, entire cast & technicians. I shall always cherish this
Sridevi had been keen that her filmmaker hubby team up for a Tamil film with Ajith. According to reports, while shooting for the 2012 film English Vinglish, Tamil star Ajith had promised Sridevi that he will do a film with her husband Boney.
Nerkonda Paarvai also stars Vidya Balan, Mahat Raghavendra, Shraddha Srinath, Andrea Tariang and Abhirami Venkatachalam among others.
The film has been showered by praises by critics. Popular journalist Bharadwaj Rangan tweeted his review on Nerkonda Paarvai, saying, "Vinoth's biggest accomplishment is the air of restraint. When I saw the trailer, with Ajith's action scene, I thought he'd amplify the volume and "mass"-ify PINK. But he mostly honours the source material."
Columnist Sreedhar Pillai tweeted, "Nerkonda Paarvai Powerful a reflection on the patriarchal mindset independent women faces in our society. Hats off to ThalaAjith for doing such a daring & difficult role so convincingly, Shraddha Srinath fab. Director H Vinoth a faithful & neat remake with some commercial ingredients. [sic]"
He also shared a picture from the Singapore premiere. Have a look:
