While various biopics on former Chief Minister J Jayalalitha are underway, the one that excited everyone is Nithya Menen starrer. She has many resemblances to the former actress turned politician. Titled ‘The Iron Lady’, the film was announced with much fanfare some months ago. But there was no progress since then.
As rumors are spreading that it was shelved permanently, the film’s director A Priyadarshini sent a letter to the media houses explaining its status. The biopic starring Nithya Menen is not shelved, she stated.
“The Iron Lady consists of many technical departments operating synchronously towards exploring our creative potential and at the same time refrain misrepresenting the real facts. I am awaiting dates of confirmation from two of the main character artistes of the film,” she said. She mentioned that Nithya Menen will play the role of Amma.
Nithya enthusiastically shared the statement on social media.
