Tamannaah boosts fitness regime for Queen remake

Mumbai Nov 10 (IANS) Actress Tamannaah Bhatia who is essaying Kangana Ranaut s role in the Telugu remake of "Queen" is working out harder for her look in the film.

The remake titled "Queen Once Again" is being helmed by National Award-winning director Neelakanta.

Tamannaah has decided to give the traditional gym routine amiss and train on the beach instead.

"It s a non-polluted environment and I feel it s doing wonders to my overall well-being. Instead of three times a week which I generally practice in India I m doing six times a week in France " the actress said in a statement.

"My trainer felt I needed to shed a few more kilos so I m waking up real early everyday to ensure I can give in those two dedicated hours. In fact I have started skipping something I have never done before and Queen Once Again is making me do thing I have never attempted before " she added.

Tamannah is loving the vibe in France which she describes as "picturesque".

Kangana s "Queen" released in 2014. It was based on the transformational journey of the character Rani who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris alone after her fiance -- essayed by Rajkummar Rao -- calls off the wedding at the very last moment.

Sidhu Jonnalagadda will essay Rajkummar s role in the Telugu remake and Shibani Dandekar is taking on the role played by Lisa Haydon in the original.
