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.
Produced by Dhananjayan’s BOFTA Media Works, this yet-untitled film will go on floors from May 2018. National award-winning editor Praveen KL and DOP Mahesh Muthusamy are on board.
In an official statement, Jyotika said, “I am a big Vidya (Balan) fan. I love her voice and command over Hindi, which is rare in Bollywood today. 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.”
