Boney Kapoor fulfilled a promise made to his late wife, legendary actor Sridevi, when he signed Tamil superstar Ajith for Nerkonda Paarvaai, the official Tamil remake of Pink. The producer, however, is not just sticking to his promise, but also continuing this association with another venture. The actor-producer duo is joining hands once again for the former’s 60th film.  The movie, formerly known as AK 60 till it found a name, has finally been titled as Valimai. A puja for the movie was held in Chennai as it went on floors recently. Even Janhvi Kapoor expressed her excitement for the same and wished her father for the new journey.

While Ajith was missing from the rituals, Boney and Vinoth were present for the auspicious start to the event. Several pictures from the puja surfaced, with the production banner Bayview Projects also sharing the snaps on their official handle. Boney, Vinoth and the other technicians were seen with garlands on their necks and even the video camera was blessed for the occasion.
