Basking in the success of Ajith’s Vivegam, actor Kajal Aggarwal is gearing up to commence work on her next Tamil film, Paris Paris, a remake of Kangana Ranaut’s Queen. On Sunday, the project was officially launched in Chennai and an elated Kajal is proud to be part of the project. Speaking on the occasions, Kajal said, “It’s a project very close to my heart. When I saw Queen, I told myself I’d love to adapt the film in some other language. We’d like to prove a point with this project.” She will reprise Kangana’s role in the film.
At the event, when asked if she’d be able to do justice to Kangana’s performance, Kajal didn’t mince her words and said: “I’m not looking forward to filling in anyone’s shoes in this role. We are recreating the film in another language. I treat this as an original, in my own way.” The film will be directed by actor-filmmaker Ramesh Aravind, best known for helming Kamal Haasan’s Uttama Villain. Ramesh is also directing the film’s Kannada version which is titled Butterfly, and has already gone on the floors. Parul Yadav plays the lead in Butterfly.
