(ANI):
English
actress
Carey
Mulligan
is
set
to
play
Eliza
Doolittle
in
a
remake
of
the
film
My
Fair
Lady.
Mulligan,
24,
will
be
following
in
the
footsteps
of
late
actress
Audrey
Hepburn,
who
had
played
the
part
of
Doolittle
in
1964.
Actress
Emma
Thompson,
who
wrote
the
script
for
the
new
version
of
the
film,
disclosed
Mulligan"s
involvement
as
she
attended
the
premier
of
her
latest
Nanny
McPhee
film.
“I
think
Carey
is
set
to
play
it,
yes," the
Telegraph
quoted
her
as
telling
BBC
Five
Live.
She
also
said
that
she
was
keen
for
actor
Hugh
Grant
to
play
the
role
of
Henry
Higgins
that
had
originally
been
performed
by
late
actor
Rex
Harrison.
“I
love
Hugh
so
I"d
love
him
to
do
it.
He
might
want
to,
he
might
not
want
to,
so
we
don"t
know
yet.
But
hopefully
we"ll
make
it
later
this
year,"
Thompson
added.
