Actor Parul Yadav who will be seen in the Kannada version of ‘Queen’ titled ‘Butterfly’ said that she won’t be able to better the performance of Kangana Ranaut but is happy that she is given a chance to interpret the character in her own way.
The shooting of the movie is going in a brisk pace and she expressed her happiness being the part of such a film which will showcase her transformation from being an introvert to a confident woman in the second half of the film.

In an interview with Nina C George, Parul talks about her experience of working in the film.
How is it to be a part of the remake of ‘Queen’?
The film has a universal theme which women of all age groups will be able to connect with. I feel honoured to be chosen for the Kannada version. ‘Queen’ is being remade in four languages.
Are you happy working on a remake?
I was a little apprehensive about taking up a remake because Kangana has already left an imprint with her stellar performance in the original version. I was a little unsure if I would be able to match up to those standards. But I have, in fact, surprised myself in this film and performed exceedingly well.
Was it easy to relate to the role?
The character that I play is that of a naive and innocent girl. Having been raised in Mumbai for the most part of my life, I found it difficult to suddenly slip into the character of a shy girl. I didn’t want to fake my innocence, so I attended a workshop. It helped me understand and emote the character in a better way.
What were some of the preparations for the role?
Since I am from Mumbai, I usually take promptings for my Kannada projects. But here when the director Ramesh Aravind asked me not to take any prompting, I was a little taken aback. But I took it as a challenge and mugged up the dialogues which I rendered without any difficulty. I had to also style my hair in such a way that it looked natural. I am glad that the character is shaping up well.
On working with Ramesh Aravind…
It was nice to work with Ramesh Aravind because he is open to suggestions. I always feel that a director should not be like a dictator but must be friendly. Ramesh commanded and not demanded respect.
Did you face any pressure?
I have had sleepless nights because I was constantly under the fear of being compared to Tamannaah, Kajal Aggarwal and Manjima who are acting in the other versions. I know that comparisons are bound to happen. But here I discovered that I perform well under pressure.
Any other projects in the pipeline?
I have been asked not to sign any other project till I am done with the shooting of ‘Butterfly’. So I am taking it slow and easy for now.
