Madras High Court Sends Notice To Director Of Kangana Ranaut Starrer Thalaivi

We all know actress Kangana Ranaut is all geared up and is preparing hard for Thalaivi – the biopic on Jayalalitha. However, the film has now hit the doldrums! According to a report on Bollywood Hungama, Jayalalitha's niece has filed a plea seeking that the directors should get the consent of the family as the film portrays the private life of Jayalalithaa.

If media reports are to be believed, after hearing the plea, Madra High Court sent a legal notice to Gautam Menon who is also helming a web series on Jayalalitha with actress Ramya Krishnan in the lead.

And the same notice has been sent to director AL Vijay who is directing a film titled Thalaivi (starring Kangana Ranaut in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Also, director Vishnuvardhan who is in the process to shoot a biopic of Jayalalithaa is also requested to respond to the notice.

But what is strange is when the shooting of the film began, the director AL Vijay had issued a statement saying that they have received a NOC from Deepak, nephew of late Jayalalithaa and brother of Deepa Jayakumar.
