Tamannaah on her role in Andhadhun remake

“I’ve always been an ardent fan of Tabu’s work and it is such an honour to reprise a role played by her. The original film has this psychological influence on people and succeeded in inducing a sense of curiosity. What I personally loved about the original film was the brilliance of the script and the screenplay. It had no hero or no villain,” she said.

Actor Nithiin will reprise Ayushmann Khurrana’s National Award-winning role in the Telugu remake.

“It is a very unconventional casting and I have always wanted to do a film that is entertaining, while it has moments of darkness. Lately, I have started taking an incline towards films that embody a sense of individualism, that is less scared of convention and much more stimulating. This is the first time I will be collaborating with Nithiin and he is one of the few people in the Telugu industry I have never worked with previously. So, I am quite looking forward to this project,” Tamannaah added.

Andhadhun, a black comedy crime thriller directed by Sriram Raghavan, has Ayushmann playing a piano player who pretends to be blind and whose life is thrown in a tizzy when he becomes witness to the murder of an aged film actor by the latter’s wife and her lover. The Telugu version is being directed by Merlapaka Gandhi.
