Jayachitra to play CM!

Just when you thought that A M R Ramesh���s Vanayudham, the Veerappan biopic, couldn���t get any bigger or more interesting, here���s the latest bit of news. The film will have yesteryear actress Jayachithra playing the role of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in the film.
Confirming this news to CT, director A M R Ramesh, who has just wrapped up an extensive schedule for the film, says, ���We will have Jayachithra ma���am playing the role of the Chief Minister in the film.During the period of Veerappan���s encounter, it was the then CM Jayalalithaa who gave all the freedom to DGP Vijayakumar in terms of carrying forth the operation.���
Quiz the director if this might spark off any kind of problems, considering the dead forest brigand���s wife Muthulakshmi is angered, and he says, ���No, I don���t foresee any trouble. My film will just show facts as they are. In fact, Jayalalitha ma���am has learnt about it already.���
The director says that the film is already nearly 96 per cent complete, with a last few days of shoot left in Chennai, which will wrap up by March 10. ���This will involve one scene of an encounter involving Arjun, who plays Vijayakumar,��� he says.
With regards to the case that Muthulakshmi has filed, Ramesh says, ���We have the hearing on March 20. I don���t see any problems. My lawyers will deal with it. She claims my film will show Veerappan in bad light. It doesn���t do so. The rest is for the Censors to decide.���
