Rumors on Jayalalithaa biopic Thalaivi’s OTT release put to rest
Published on Apr 21, 2021 12:00 pm IST

Thalaivi, the Tamil-Hindi biopic on legendary yesteryear actress and former Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa, was supposed to hit screens on April 23. However, the film’s release was postponed indefinitely due to the rising number of COVID-19 positive cases in India. There has been no clarity on the new release date until now.

Meanwhile, there have been several speculations that Thalaivi will be skipping its theatrical release and opt for a direct OTT release instead due to the prevailing uncertainty. However, the film’s leading lady Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram and put an end to all the rumours. She said that Thalaivi will surely release in cinemas first.

Furthermore, Kangana also revealed that the digital rights to Thalaivi’s Tamil version were acquired by Amazon Prime, while Netflix has acquired the film’s Hindi version’s streaming rights. Both the OTT platforms will stream Thalaivi only after a theatrical release.

AL Vijay has directed Thalaivi, which also stars Arvind Swami and Poorna in crucial roles. Vishnu Induri and Shaailesh R Singh have produced the movie.
