After giving three back-to-back hits this year with Thozha, Dharmadurai and Devi (L), Tamannaah seems to be on a roll with about six to seven projects at several stages of discussion. The actress, who is currently awaiting the release of Kaththi Sandai and Baahubali: The Conclusion, is now shooting for Adhik’s Anbanavan Asaradhavan and Adangadhavan with STR.
The 26-year-old now has yet another reason to rejoice as she has been roped in to reprise Kangna Ranaut’s role in the Tamil remake of the Bollywood blockbuster, Queen. This untitled remake will be helmed by actress Revathi and will have dialogues penned by Suhasini Maniratnam. Earlier, Trisha was rumoured to be in talks for the remake. As days progressed, the talks fizzled out.
Confirming the news to DC, Tamannaah says, “I’ve signed the film, but we are yet to lock the dates. As far as I know, this project will start rolling in 2017.
Personally, Queen is one of my favourite films — and right from the day I saw it, I wanted to be part of the remake. I am excited as I am acting in a film that is extremely close to my heart. However, the character I play will definitely be my person version and interpretation of Queen.”
When asked if she will also be starring in the Telugu remake, Tamannaah explains, “It is not finalised yet. As of now, I can only talk about the Tamil version that I am part of.”
On her part, Suhasini quips, “I finished writing the dialogues for the remake three months back. Now, it’s for Revathi to take it forward.” She further added that she won’t be acting in the remake.
When we contacted Revathi, she remained tight-lipped about her directorial project. “A lot of decisions have to be taken regarding the film, so I won’t be able to reveal anything right now.”
