Madhubala in Kannada Remake of Attarintiki Daredi

Yesteryear actress Madhubala, who recently made her southern comeback with Tamil romantic-comedy Vaayai Moodi Pesavum, has been signed on for the yet-untitled Kannada remake of recent Telugu blockbuster Attarintiki Daaredhi.

Madhoo will reprise the role of Nadiya from the original.

“I start shooting from August for the Kannada remake of ‘Attarintiki Daaredhi’. I will be playing Nadiya’s role in the remake,” Madhubala told.

Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep will be stepping into the shoes of Pawan Kalyan to play the lead in the remake.

An excited Madhubala said: “I love the paint on my face and camera looking into my eyes.”

Sudeep, who has successfully helmed several recent Telugu hits such as “Mirchi”, “Singam” and “Vikramarkudu” in Kannada, is likely to direct the remake as well.

The rest of the cast is expected to be finalized soon.
