[6][7][8] After a period of inactivity and further media reports about the casting of the lead actress, Thiagarajan revealed in February 2016 that he had signed on Revathi to direct the Tamil version of the film, while Suhasini would work as the dialogue writer.

He also stated that Amy Jackson was signed on to feature in all four versions of the film in the role originally portrayed by Lisa Haydon.

[17][18] In June 2017, further confusion about the remake arose after two separate production houses apart from Thiagarajan's Staar Movies had claimed rights to the film.

However a mutual cancellation form was then signed between the parties on 5 April 2017 after Mediente allegedly failed to pay the consideration provided under the agreement.

[19] Then, as per a contract signed on 21 April 2017, Staar Movies agreed to assign the rights of all four South Indian versions of Queen to Golden Crab Film Production Ltd. To avoid the reversion of rights back to Viacom due to three years of inactivity, Staar Movies and Golden Crab swiftly began shooting the film on 17 May 2017 with a series of supporting actors including Nassar under the title of Vaanil Thedi Nindren.

[19] The final credits of the film indicate that the producer is Manu Kumaran of Mediente, with actress Parul Yadav, Staar Movies and Liger as co-producers.

[27] The film was launched in Chennai on 24 September 2017 with director Ramesh Aravind and actress Kajal Aggarwal in attendance.

Co-producer Parul Yadav raised an objection to why only the Tamil and Telugu versions were flagged, when the Kannada, Malayalam and original Hindi films were given "U/A" certificates.

[38] Producer Manu Kumaran was critical of how the Board had looked to censor the appearance and dialogues spoken by Elli Avram's character.

[38][39] In April 2020, Yadav suggested that the producers were keen to release all four versions of the film on the same day, and were thus waiting for the censorship decisions to be revised.

[40] In July 2020, it was widely reported in the media that the producers were in discussions with Amazon Prime Video about the release of the four films via the streaming service.
