We had earlier reported that actress Amy Jackson, who was signed on for a pivotal role in all the four remakes of Queen, had opted out citing date issues.
The Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada remakes of the film have undergone several changes in terms of cast. Now, Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah, Manjima Mohan and Parul Yadav will be reprising Kangana Ranaut’s role in the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada versions respectively.
After Amy’s exit, the team had been searching for an actress to essay the role Lisa Haydon had portrayed in the Bollywood flick. We have learnt that Hindi actress Elli AvrRam has been roped in for the Tamil and Kannada versions of Queen.
Speaking to DC, Elli says, “I’m thrilled about making my debut in South India with Paris Paris and Butterfly (title of Tamil and Kannada remakes). I’ve a huge respect for the films made down south and I’m glad to be part of it. I love languages and I’m quite excited to rehearse my lines in Tamil and Kannada.”
Elli also added that she will be shooting for the film from November. Actress and television host Shibani Dandekar will be playing Lisa Haydon’s role in Malayalam and Telugu versions of Queen.
