After
a
lot
of
speculations,
actress
Simran
has
officially
signed
the
Tamil
remake
of
Hindi
film
Andhadhun
(2018),
starring
Prashanth
in
the
lead
role.
The
actress
confirmed
the
same
in
an
interview
with
Chennai
Times.
Interestingly,
Simran
will
be
reprising
the
role
of
Tabu,
who
played
the
antagonist
in
the
original,
directed
by
Sriram
Raghavan.
While
speaking
about
her
character
in
Andhadhun's
Tamil
remake,
the
44-year-old
actress
said,
"Playing
Tabu's
role
is
a
huge
responsibility.
It
is
a
bold,
yet
challenging
role.
But
I
am
looking
forward
to
essaying
the
part
in
the
Tamil
remake.
I
want
to
see
myself
in
this
new
avatar,
and
I'm
quite
excited.
It's
a
character
that
will
be
seen
throughout
the
film.
I
am
confident
that
this
will
be
another
feather
in
my
hat."
Simran
also
said
that
Andhadhun
was
a
landmark
film
in
Indian
cinema
and
it
impressed
audiences
in
different
regions.
The
remake
also
marks
the
reunion
of
Prashanth
and
Simran
after
16
years.
The
duo
was
last
seen
together
in
Jai
(2004).
The
actress
is
very
happy
to
work
with
Prashanth
again.
For
the
unversed,
Prashanth
has
already
started
preparing
for
the
role
of
a
blind
pianist.
He
will
also
be
losing
weight
to
get
into
the
skin
of
the
character.
