Parineeti Chopra to star in Hindi remake of The Girl on the Train

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Parineeti Chopra has been roped in for the official Hindi remake of Hollywood thriller “The Girl on the Train”, the makers announced Wednesday. The actor will play an alcoholic divorcee, who becomes involved in a missing person’s investigation.

The role was originally played by Emily Blunt, who received critical acclaim for her performance in the 2016 film. Parineeti said the viewers will see her in a different avatar with this film.

“I want to do roles that audiences haven’t seen me in before and ones that require a lot of prep and homework, which is why ‘The Girl On The Train’ really worked for me.

The character is an alcoholic and a victim of abuse, and I haven’t explored anything like her on screen before,” she said in a statement. The yet-to-be-titled film, based on Paula Hawkins’ 2015 bestseller, will be directed by Ribhu Dasgupta.
