Thala 59 will be directed by Theeran Adhigaram Ondru fame, H Vinoth, and it is speculated that the film would be a remake of hit Bollywood film Pink, which featured Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles. The film was about sexual assault and how the society blamed victims instead of the criminals when incidents occur. Amitabh played the lawyer while Taapsee played the victim who wants to take action.

Speaking about the project, producer Boney Kapoor said in a statement, “While working together with Ajith for English Vinglish, Sridevi had expressed her desire that Ajith does a Tamil film for our home production to be Produced by me. Nothing exciting came up till one day last year, Ajith suggested remaking Pink in Tamil. She immediately agreed with him as she thought it was the most appropriate and timely film to make and Ajith would bring all the elements required to make it into a great Tamil film.”

Meanwhile Rangaraj Pandey, a popular journalist who stepped down recently from the post of editor in chief in Thanthi tv also rumoured to do an important role in the film. Among the pictures that got released from the Pooja of Thala 59, we can see Rangaraj Pandey.
