Can Anushka Shetty be the perfect 'badi Thakurayin' in South Indian remake of 'Bulbbul'?

Bulbbul is the latest movie on Netflix which has gained a lot of attention for its unusual story. The movie revolves around a zamindari family from Bengal presidency. Folklores and legends are abundant in the place while witches and ghosts seem normal. A chudail haunts the village killing men and the youngest Thakur brother is out to find out who it is. However, big secrets inhabit the big corridors of his childhood home and soon he finds himself confused between what is right and what is wrong.

Bulbbul is written and directed by Anvita Dutt. It is bankrolled by Clean Slate Productions owned by Anushka Sharma and her brother Karnesh Sharma and stars Tripti Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Paoli Dam, Rahul Bose and Parambrata Chattopadhyay. If this supernatural ‘fairy-tale’ is remade in South India, here’s a list of actors who might be perfect for the role.

Bulbbul- Anushka Shetty

She is the older Thakurain of the house although she is much younger in age. She is married to the elder brother who is older than her by nearly two decades. Known for being a good actor, Anushka Shetty seems perfect for the role.
