Pink was headlined by Taapsee, Kirti Kulhari and Andrea Tariang. A thespian like Big B extended tremendous support to the leading actors while keeping significance of his performance intact.

But, when it came to the Tamil remake, apparently the narration had to alter a bit to match the stardom that Ajith enjoys in down south.

Similarly, Pawan Kalyan too is a celebrated name in the Telugu filmdom. Now, it will be interesting to see if the essence of Bachchan's character is left untouched or tempered to suit the sensibilities of Telugu audience.

Pawan Kalyan was last seen in 2018 release Agnyaathavaasi.
