When the makers announced that they have finalized Kangana Ranaut to play J Jayalalitha on screen, many were skeptical about how she'd do justice to the role. However, producer Vishnu and director Vijay have reiterated that she's the perfect choice to play the role of the iconic actress-politician.

Kangana is learning Tamil and will undergo a one-month workshop to get into the skin of the character. The biopic will be titled 'Thalaivi' in Tamil and Telugu while it will be called 'Jaya' in Hindi.
