Kangana Ranaut starrer upcoming biopic, Thalaivi has been postponed indefinitely. The movie primarily based on the life of former Tamil Nadu chief minister and actor J Jayalalithaa, was previously scheduled to release on April 23 in theatres. However, in the wake of the rising cases of the coronavirus and the following lockdown across various regions of India, the makers announced their decision on Friday.
In the statement, the producers of Thalaivi mentioned, “Since the film has been made in multiple languages, we would like to release it in all languages on the same day. However with an alarming rise in Covid-19 cases, subsequent precautions and lockdowns, even though our movie is ready for release on 23rd April, we want to extend all the support towards the government rules and laws and have decided to postpone release of Thalaivi.”
Thalaivi is helmed by A L Vijay, with a screenplay penned by K V Vijayendra Prasad, Rajat Arora and Madhan Karky. The trailer of Thalaivi and its first song “Chali Chali” received a thumbs-up from the audience. However, the movie’s postponement might come as a disappointment for the fans of Kangana and Jayalalithaa.
Kangana had recently shared how she is coming to ‘save Bollywood’ with her Rs 100 crore film, Thalaivi. Responding to a tweet by trade analyst Taran Adarsh which stated that Thalaivi will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on April 23 as planned, Kangana wrote, “They did everything to throw me out of the industry, ganged up, harassed me today Bollywood ke thekedaars Karan Johar and Aadiya Chopra are hiding, all big heroes are hiding however Kangana Ranaut with her team coming with 100cr budget movie to save Bollywood.”
