Dear Zindagi has opened up well yesterday (Nov 25th) with majorly positive reviews. The film stars Alia Bhatt, who plays a young cinematographer based in Goa and Shah Rukh Khan as a therapist in an extended cameo role.
This film is directed by Gauri Shinde, who had earlier directed English Vinglish which starred Sridevi. In English Vinglish, Amitabh Bachchan had played a very small cameo role, which had received good response from audiences. Interestingly, English Vinglish had a Tamil dubbed version as well. But there was a very interesting surprise in the Tamil version. The role essayed by Amitabh Bachchan was reprised by Ajith Kumar in Tamil, which gave the dubbed version a much-needed boost and a good opening.
With Shah Rukh Khan, playing a role of his age in Dear Zindagi and with Ajith been known for the same with his looks, Can we expect a Tamil remake of Dear Zindagi starring Ajith Kumar in the place of Shah Rukh Khan? Will Thala Ajith be the first choice for Gauri Shinde due to his role in her previous outing?
