Telugu actress
Sri Reddy has raised objections against
Kangana Ranaut playing former
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
J Jayalalithaa in an upcoming biopic. The actress posted on his micro-blogging page, “Iron lady ruled with single finger on her Tamilnadu kingdom..no one replace her,I cant see any other person to do our thalivi role..she is only one..but biopic is so important, and helpful for our next generations to know her..any of our south Indian lady actress is fine but no "kangana ranaut" (sic). It is said that Kangna will begin shooting for the film in April. The film will be directed by Vijay and will release in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. The project is being bankrolled by Vishnu Induri.
Meanwhile some twitterati are of the opinion that Ramya Krishnan or Anushka Shetty would have been apt for the role. In the meantime, another biopic is being made on Jayalalithaa which has Nithya Menen playing the former TN CM.
