<p class="title">Actor Parul Yadav, who is currently shooting for the Kannada version of ' 'Queen' titled 'Butterfly', says that she can't better Kangana's benchmark-setting performance in the film but she's glad that she had ample freedom to give her own interpretation to the character.</p>.<p class="title">The shooting for the film is progressing at a brisk pace and Parul points out that she enjoyed the transition of moving away from being an introvert in the first half of the film to a more confident person towards the end. <br />In an interview with Nina C George, Parul talks about her experience of working in the film.</p>.<p class="Question">How is it to be a part of the remake of 'Queen'?</p>.<p class="bodytext">The film has a universal theme which women of all age groups will be able to connect with.

But here when the director Ramesh Aravind asked me not to take any prompting, I was a little taken aback.
