One of the most
critically
acclaimed films in
Bollywood last
year, Tumhari
Sulu is, reportedly,
being remade in
Tamil and the lead
will be none other
than Jyothika. The
film will be
helmed by
director Radha
Mohan, who is
known for his
heartwarming
stories. Sources
say that final talks
are on for the
project and an official announcement can
be expected very soon. "Jyothika is
currently shooting for her film with Mani
Ratnam and Radha Mohan is busy with his
Vikram Prabhu project. Thus, the project
will take off soon, a reliable source
confirmed. It is likely that the film might go
on floors around June or July.
Jyothika has earlier teamed up with Radha
Mohan for the well-received Mozhi, where
she played a deaf and mute woman. A
woman-centric film before it became a
trend, Mozhi won the hearts of critics and
masses. Vidya Balan's Tumhari Sulu is the
story of a housewife who becomes an RJ
hosting a late-night talk show. Vidya's
performance as an RJ with the seductive
voice was much appreciated and there can't
be a better choice than Jyothika to play that
role in Tamil.
Jyothika was last seen as the no-nonsense
cop in Bala's Naachiyaar. The actor has been
receiving rave reviews for her performance
as the angry but honest cop. She is
currently shooting for Mani Ratnam's
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam where she will
share screen space with Aravind Swamy,
Simbu, Vijay Sethupathi, Aishwarya Rajesh,
Aditi Rao Hydari and Arun Vijay.
Interestingly, Jyothika's comeback film 36
Vayathinile was a remake of Manju
Warrier's Malayalam super hit How old are
you?. Since her return, Jo has been picking
scripts that have significant, powerful
characters for women.
