While Parul Yadav has confirmed her role in the Kannada version, it is still uncertain who will play the Queen in the Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam versions. Originally, Tamannah Bhatia was shortlisted for the Telugu and Tamil versions, but IndiaToday reports that the film has been shelved. Other reports say she walked out of the project over a disagreement on remuneration.
Meanwhile, Indian Express writes that of the many names suggested as director for the remake, the producers chose Ramesh Aravind. This will mark Ramesh Aravind’s debut as director in Telugu, while he has already directed a number of films in Kannada, including Rama Shama Bhama, and Accident. Revathy might direct the Tamil version.
