Tamannaah didn’t intervene much in Queen’s remake

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia says she or team didn’t enjoy any administrative authority during the filming of the Telugu version of Kangana Ranaut-starrer Queen (2013).

According to a report, National Award-winning director Neelakanta quit the remake of Queen over “creative differences” with Tamannaah.

Slamming it as baseless, Tamannaah says, “I would like to reiterate and clarify that no actor ever has had a say in the technical process of a film. My team or I didn’t enjoy any administrative authority in the creative role play for the Telugu version of Queen”.

The final call “always rests with the producer of the film”, she adds.

Tamannaah is looking forward to resuming work and completing the final schedule of the film.

“I have great respect for Neelakanta sir and would like to put an end to all these speculative rumours. The producer (Manu Kumaran) had made some changes to the composition of the team in early November to streamline the execution of this extremely ambitious project,” she says.

The actor shares that the remake is a dream project for the entire team. “The four language simultaneous remakes of Queen is a dream project for everyone involved, and we all are collectively working towards giving the audience four beautiful and entertaining films,” she adds.

The film is being made in Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada, besides Telugu. It narrates the story of a simple woman, who goes on her ‘honeymoon’ alone, as her fiance cancels the wedding at the last moment, and how the travel affects her.
