Genelia will be playing Dhanush's ladylove in the Tamil remake of Telugu blockbuster titled 'Ready'.

The original directed by Sreenu Vaitla featured Ram and Genelia in the lead roles. To be produced by Mohan Apparao and Chandra Ramesh, the Tamil version will go on floors soon.

According to the producers, "there was a huge demand for the remake rights of the movie. Thank Almighty, we won the bid. The movie is a mix of action, romance and sentiments."

Mithran Jawahar, who directed Dhanush for 'Yaaradi Nee Mohini' and the to-be released 'Kutty', is wielding the megaphone for this one too. The movie is currently being remade in Kannada starring Puneeth Rajakumar and Priyamani in lead roles.
