тАЬI got a beautiful email with a letter from the director telling me how much he really wanted me in this role,тАЭ Estefan recalled. тАЬAnd then they sent me the script and when I read it, I go, тАШI have to do this! ItтАЩs so good!’тАЭ

The тАЬFather of the BrideтАЭ remake follows a Cuban American family, whose daughter is marrying into a Mexican American family, a shake-up to the 1991 film starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Martin Short. Andy Garcia and Estefan will play husband and wife.

тАЬThe comedy is really, really well written and I think itтАЩs got a really beautiful message too,тАЭ the star continued. тАЬThe groom is Mexican and his familyтАЩs Mexican, and thereтАЩs the Cuban side of the bride. тАж Hopefully [it will] celebrate cultures in a wonderful, warm, deep way that doesnтАЩt stick to stereotypes.тАЭ

She added, тАЬA film should be good no matter what culture is being talked about, and that makes me happy because hopefully, people will identify with it.тАЭ

No word on when the remake will be released.
