Ajith Kumar’s latest movie Thunivu opened in theatres on Wednesday, January 11, much to the delight of fans. It is produced by Boney Kapoor, a popular name in Hindi cinema. Now, in an interview with a media house, Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun Kapoor expressed his desire to collaborate with Ajith Kumar.

When he was asked whether he would like to collaborate with Ajith Kumar on a project, Arjun Kapoor added that it should happen for the right reason “South films are catering to a boarder spectrum of audiences - which is the whole country. Our country is enjoying the content they are curating right now. They do have the vision. I would of course love to work with them. I have always been open to it - language has never been a barrier. You always want to go and learn, you always want to work with all sorts of people. My father is engaged with them even today. But I think, more than it is about doing it for the right reason, not because right now that's what is selling,” he said.

On collaborating with South stars he siad “I think it has happened for many years now. We’ve had Rajinikanth sir coming and working over here. We’ve had actors go from here, we’ve had people go back and forth. It is not something new. I’m sure Vishal Bhardwaj has interacted with people from regions and worked. You’ve musicians going, you’ve singers, it’s not that it’s ever stopped. It’s coming to the forefront visually now because their industry is doing really well," said Arjun Kapoor.

Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu, meanwhile, has opened to a good response at the box office. It is an action-thriller that features the actor as a grey character. Manju Warrier is the leading lady but is not paired with the Veeram actor. Post Thunivu, Ajith will be working on AK 62.
