The Jayalalithaa biopic will be helmed by director Vijay. It has been titled Thalaivi in Tamil and Jaya in Hindi.

Talking about the biopic, Kangana Ranaut said, “I always wanted to do regional films. When we go to Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh, they mainly watch only South cinema.

We will be doing the film mainly in Tamil. It will be released in Hindi as well. I will learn Tamil.”
