Lulu, Lawrence Chaney and Boy George to star in Arthur's Whiskey alongside Diane Keaton

Arthur's Whiskey has lined up a stellar cast with Diane Keaton as the leading lady, alongside Lulu and RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Lawrence Chaney.

Scots singer Lulu shared the exciting news on Instagram that she would be working with Diane and Patricia Hodge on the feel-good flick. The synopsis for Arthur's Whiskey reads: "When Joan’s (Hodge) husband dies, she discovers he had invented an anti-aging elixir that literally takes the years off.

"Sharing it with her two friends Linda (Keaton) and Susan (Lulu), the three rejuvenated women waste no time in painting the town red, but they soon realise it’s a very different world to the one they remember."

Boy George is set to star as himself in the film, according to his IMDb profile, but it is unclear how big his part will be in the flick. The cast also includes The Parent Trap's Hayley Mills, House of the Dragon star Bill Paterson and Good Morning Britain presenter Adil Ray.

Lulu previously shared her excitement about the upcoming role as she gets to play a Scottish character as she looked forward to returning to her roots.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Lulu said: "I'm Scottish and I'll be immediately taking my tour up to Scotland, and by the way next week I start making a movie with Diane Keegan in which I am for the very first time acting in a Glasweigan accent which is so exciting for me so I think the Scottish thing has an influence - 'ye canny kid anybody fae Glasgow!'"

She added: "I've acted but never had any training, so I have been taking acting class and enjoying it, so it would be great to put this in a part, and now I've got the film and I've been asked to do a television series which is an acting role again but the thrill about this one is that I'm scottish I'm actually talking in my accent, back to my roots!"

“Working with such an incredibly talented actress as Academy Award-winner Diane Keaton is a dream come true. She leads our brilliant ensemble cast featuring Patricia Hodge, David Harewood, Hayley Mills, Bill Paterson, Adil Ray, Boy George as well as the iconic Lulu!” said director Stephen Cookson.

Arclight Films Chairman Gary Hamilton added: “Arthur’s Whisky is a hilarious and universal story about second chances. With the undeniable talent of Diane Keaton leading our cast, we are delighted to be part of this incredible project and are so excited to introduce the film to our distributors around the world.”

Arthur's Whiskey will air on Sky later this year.
