The official Tamil remake of Hindi film Tumhari Sulu starring Vidya Balan will have Jyotika playing the lead role. Director Radha Mohan will helm the project, which reunites with him Jyotika after Mozhi.

I’ve watched every Vidya film, and Tumhari Sulu, in my opinion, is her most lovable work. I feel honored to be stepping into her shoes. Kudos to the producers and to Suresh (Triveni) for making such a lively, honest, real and feel-good film.”
