Actress Kangana Ranaut won her second National Award for Queen (2014), largely in part for her endearing portrayal of jilted bride Rani who travels solo to Europe for what was to be her honeymoon. Directed by Vikas Bahl, the award-winning film was shot in Paris and Amsterdam. By next year, there will be four remakes of Queen shot in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam.
Actress Parul Yadav, who is also the co-producer on all four remakes, announced yesterday that the films completed their shooting at the European locations. She shared a photograph of herself at the Eiffel Tower and wrote, "So happy to finish the European leg all 4 #queenremakes. The Eiffel is a perfect symbol of how impossibly difficult this project was and how grand it can be!!" Yadav is starring in Ranaut's role in the Kannada version.
For the Malayalam remake, actress Manjima Mohan is the lead. It is unclear the director and other cast members of the project, however, Manjima shared a photograph of herself at a location with Dandekar, indicating that the actress will reprise her role in the Telugu and Malayalam version.
All four films are based on writer-director's Bahl's story and the music will by Amit Trivedi. The Tamil, Kannada and Telugu versions are all shot by cinematographer Sathya Hegde. There is no word so far on when these four remakes will be released.
