It’s a myth that the era of remakes is over. I’ll continue to make them: Boney Kapoor

I have produced almost 50 films, I want to score a century now: Boney Kapoor

- Onkar Kulkarni

During the pandemic, when several movie projects were put on hold, producer Boney Kapoor was neck-deep managing over half-a-dozen films. In 2019, he produced the Tamil film Nerkonda Paarvai, and since then, has been actively working on multiple south movies between 2020 and 2021. His Tamil film Valimai, starring Ajith Kumar, that released this year, enjoyed massive success. He also bankrolled the south remakes of successful Hindi films like Article 15 and Badhaai Ho this year. Now that he has wholeheartedly plunged into producing south movies, Boney has been winning a lot of appreciation from industry folks and the audience. At the moment, he is extremely excited about his upcoming production Mili (a remake of the Malayalam film Helen), starring Janhvi Kapoor in the lead. In a chat with us, he talks about collaborating with his daughter for the first time, aiming to hit a century by producing 100 films and more.

 

You are collaborating with your daughter Janhvi for the first time with Mili. The premise of the film, where her character gets trapped inside a freezer, seems to be a solid performance-driven role. Is this what prompted you to cast Janhvi in this survival thriller?
