Jyotika to star in Tamil remake of ‘Tumhari Sulu’

Vidya Balan’s Tumhari Sulu will now be made in Tamil with Jyotika reprising Balan’s role of a radio jockey. Tamil director Radha Mohan who worked with Jyotika in Mozhi is directing this remake.

“I am excited to be directing a much appreciated film like Tumhari Sulu,” said Mohan.

“I was impressed with the realistic presentation of Tumhari Sulu and I hope to recreate the magic in Tamil with Jyotika.”

Jyotika, an ardent Balan fan, added that she loved Balan’s voice and her command over Hindi. “I have watched every Vidya film, and Tumhari Sulu, in my opinion, is her most lovable work. I feel honoured to be stepping into her shoes,” she said.

The Tamil remake rights of the Suresh Triveni-directed dramedy, has been bought by the Chennai-based BOFTA Media Works India.
