Malayalam actress Navya Nair will step into
the shoes of southern actress Meena in the Kannada remake of recent Malayalam
blockbuster 'Drishyam'.
The remake is set to go
on floors March 11.
Meena, who was supposed
to do the remake, is currently busy shooting for the Telugu remake of the same
film.
'Navya Nair has been
confirmed for the role originally played by Meena, who couldn't be signed because
she has already started shooting for the Telugu version. Navya fits the role of
a mother and a middle-aged wife perfectly,' the film's director P. Vasu told
IANS.
'Regular shooting
starts from March 11 in Coorg,' he added.
While Mohanlal played
the lead in the original, Kannada superstar Ravichandran will reprise his role
in the remake.
'Drishyam', which
happens to be biggest Malayalam blockbuster, is the story of a man's plight to
cover up a murder committed by his family.
Besides Kannada,
'Drishyam' is also being remade in Telugu and Tamil. While Daggubati Venkatesh
plays the lead in its Telugu version, Kamal Haasan will feature in the Tamil
version.
