Bollywood
hit film ‘Queen’ was a surprise hit of recent times. The film is about a
small-town girl who gets stood up by her groom-to-be on the wedding day, and is
so upset over it that she decides to go on her honeymoon all by herself. A trip
to Europe was what she had planned and booked the tickets for, but she goes all
alone. After meeting some, well, predictably good characters, she returns home
a very different person. Different, for all the right reasons.
Despite
everything, the film is very engaging and watchable.

So then,
actor-director-film producer Thyagarajan bought the Tamil remake rights of the film
and since then, he has been looking for a heroine. Three names have already
made the rounds – Samantha, Trisha, and, as usual, Asin. None of them has given
the nod.
Maybe
they don’t want to star as the bride who gets stood up or maybe they are wary
after seeing the fate of ‘Nee Enge, En Anbey’, another Bollywood hit remake (of
‘Kahaani’), that crashed at the box office. Personally I feel the film could
have worked had the title been different.
