MUMBAI MIRROR (November 4, 2017)
Actress-host Shibani Dandekar will reprise the role of Vijayalakshmi played by actress Lisa Haydon in the Telugu and Malayalam remakes of Vikas Bahl’s 2014 dramedy Queen.
Earlier, Amy Jackson was to play the role in all the four southern versions but dropped out over creative differences and non-availability of dates. Elli AvrRam has been cast in the Tamil and Kannada remakes.
The makers of the films are starting their first schedule in France with Tamannaah Bhatia, Kajal Aggarwal, Manjima Mohan and Parul Yadav in the title role.
The film will be sequentially shot at various locations with a tinge of southern flavour. The Hindi version featured Kangana Ranaut as Rani, a homely girl who after her wedding is called off, decides to go on her honeymoon alone. Travelling around Europe, she finds joy, makes friends and gains new-found independence.
Parul Yadav in Kannada remake of Kangana Ranaut's Queen

Actress Parul Yadav, known
for her award winning performances in Kannada films, is all set to play
the lead in the Kannada remake of Queen. Titled Butterfly, the film was
announced on the actress' birthday (June 5). An excited Parul says, “The
makers have picked the best girls from the four south film industries
to play the lead in all the remakes. I feel privileged to be stepping
into Kangana Ranaut's shoes. I'm happy that they look at me as a
performer. I don't want to compete with Kangana; I just want to do my
best.“Directed by actor-director Ramesh Aravind, the film is being produced by Manu Kumaran of Mediente International Films and financed by Manoj Kesavan of Liger. Explaining why the remake is titled Butterfly, Ramesh says, “The track of Queen feels like that of a caterpillar getting into a cocoon and metamorphosing into a butterfly. I'll retain the spirit of the story, but will add my own flavour to it.“
Manu adds, “Marriage does not define a woman and Queen breaks that stereotype. Cinema has the power to create social change and that's why this story needs to be told on a larger scale."
