Actress Tamannaah Bhatia is thrilled to be part of the
yet-untitled Tamil remake of Vikas Bahl’s critically-acclaimed Bollywood film Queen. The project will be
helmed by veteran actress Revathi.
“Ever since I saw Queen, I wanted to be part of its remake, even though I wasn’t sure if it will be remade. What makes Queen special is that it’s one of those rare women-centric films which succeeded in reaching out to everybody, across all sections of the audience,” Tamannaah told IANS
about the Kangana Ranaut-starrer. Having waited over
a year for the opportunity, she said she is very excited.
“I felt liberated when I saw Queen, and I can’t wait to
start working on the remake. The fact that Revathi
ma’am is directing it makes it even more special because she was the inspiration for my character in Devi,” she said.
The film will feature dialogues by actress-filmmaker Suhasini Mani Ratnam.
“I think it’s going to be a great combination. More than
a remake, this will be treated as an adaptation
as a lot of things have to be changed to suit Tamil
sensibilities,” added Tamannaah.
