MUMBAI: Universal Pictures is set to remake the 1982 feature film, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

To be produced under the Temple Hill banner, the film will have Legally Blonde duo Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten ‘Kiwi‘ Smith to adapt a modern take, reports Variety. 

The original film, which was based on the 1978 Broadway play of the same name, featured many of the same songs as the stage version as well as two songs penned by Parton, the duet "Sneakin‘ Around" and "I Will Always Love You".
