Revathy to direct Queen remake
Actor-filmmaker Revathy will helm the yet-to-be titled remake of the critically acclaimed Bollywood hit Queen! While the lead cast hasn’t been finalised, Suhasini Mani Ratnam will be penning the dialogues. The remake, bankrolled by actor-producer Thiyagarajan, will go to the cutting floor later this year.
He says, “Revathy is directing the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada remakes of the movie. Also Suhasini is working on the dialogues. Since we are planning to shoot the movie in and around London, Paris, and other abroad locales, we will begin shooting in March.” He adds, “Revathy and Suhasini are making a few changes to the script and once it is done, we would zero in on the rest of the cast.” Ask him if Prashath would be a part of film, Thiyagarajan says it’s likely not possible because his son’s hands are already full with films, including Irubatthiyaaru 26, remake of Special 26.
