The music for all the four versions will be composed by Amit Trivedi, who was the composer for the original Queen.
Queen, the 2014 Bollywood hit featuring Kangana Ranaut in the lead, revolves around an under-confident young girl who goes alone on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam after her fiance calls off their wedding, and gains new-found confidence in the company of new friends. Jointly produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Phantom Films, the film was directed by Vikas Bahl.
It is the season of remakes. Kaatrin Mozhi, the Tamil remake of the Bollywood film Tumhari Sulu directed by Suresh Triveni and featuring Vidya Balan, is due for release on October 18. Radha Mohan directs the film that sees Jyothika playing Vidya Balan’s role. Actor Vidaarth reprises Manav Kaul’s role and Lakshmi Manchu will play the role Neha Dhupia did in the original.
