Nithya Menen is having a handful of films in her kitty. The actress, who is keen about choosing off beat roles, might soon be seen in the remake of yesteryear Malayalam film 'Chattakari.' 'Chattakari' that released in 1974, was one of the most popular films during the seventies and had Laxmi in the protagonist's role. The film that was remade in Hindi as 'Julie' also had a good run at the box-office

The film was Laxmi's debut movie where she becomes a single mom. Her character in the film was well received commercially as well as critically. This remake will be directed by Santhosh Sedhumadhavan whose father directed the original 'Chattakari,' and will be produced by Suresh Kumar.

Nithya Menen's last film in Tamil was 'Veppam' where she impressed the audience with her portrayal. She is having a good stint at the south Indian film industry, and is popular for her bubbly and chirpy on-screen self.

The team is planning to rope in Nithya Menen for the titular role. There is a strong buzz that the actress might nod her yes to this offer. This is one role that many actresses would love to accept. Will Nithya Menen sign on the dotted line for this film, we have to wait and watch.
