In an exclusive interview with Silverscreen, director Radha Mohan, talked about the remake, that a lot of positivity surrounds the project. “Everything just fell into place. There’s a lot of positivity around this project; everyone has had only kind things to say,” explained the director. “Casting is very important for a film such as this, and I’m going to take my time. I don’t want to mis-cast even one role, because it is a performance-oriented film,” he added.
“Of course, there will be some changes compared to Tumhari Sulu. I will retain the soul of the film, but there will be new scenes that will suit our milieu,” he had said.
Tumhari Sulu released last year on November 17. The film is about a middle-class woman, who takes up the job of a late night radio jockey.
