It is a known fact that actor Prashanth is going to act in the Tamil remake of Ayushmann Khurrana’s critically acclaimed blockbuster hit, Andhadhun. The remake will be produced by Prashanth’s father, Thiyagarajan under the banner of Staar Movies. Initially, the film was supposed to be directed by Mohan Raja, but later he was replaced by JJ Fredrick of Ponmagal Vandhal fame. The announcement about Fredrick directing the remake was made a few months before and it got a good response from the fans. Following that, the makers of Andhadhun Tamil remake have arrived with another announcement and this one is sure to excite the fans.

Ace actress Simran has been roped in to play one of the leads in the film. She will be reprising the role played by Tabu in the original version. Those who have seen the original version will know about the significance of Tabu’s character and it is going to be exciting to see Simran in the Tamil version. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was initially approached for the same role, but it looks like Simran has bagged it. The Vaaranam Aayiram actress’ addition has given the film a new flavour. Simran was last seen in Superstar Rajinikanth's Petta and her scenes with Rajinikanth received a very good response from the fans.

Simran has acted with Prashanth in four movies including Kannedhirey Thondrinal, Jodi, Parthen Rasithen and Tamizh and the Andhadhun remake will mark her fifth outing with him.

The female lead and other supporting actors are yet to be finalized and we can expect announcements about it in the coming weeks.
