The Madras High court has, on Thursday, refused to ban the release of the Jayalalithaa's biopics- web series 'Queen' and the movie 'Thalaivi' which have been pictured based on the life of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

The High court bench chaired by Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy, after hearing the plea filed by Jayalalithaa's niece J Deepa, who challenged the release of the movies, had denied banning the release of the biopics. In her petition, J Deepa stated that her consent is mandatory for releasing the biopics and sought the directive from the court to barricade the release as the biopics would affect the privacy of Jayalalithaa.

The state's top judicial body had pronounced the verdict with accord to the statement submitted by the counsels of Gautam Vasudev Menon, the director of the web series 'Queen' and Director A L Vijay, who directs the movie 'Thalaivi'. Through his counsel, Menon argued that the web series doesn't carry the reference of Deepa and the series was based on the English book that was titled as 'Queen'. The counsel further stated that nearly about Rs 25 crore was spent to produce the series. 

Similarly, the counsel for director A L Vijay had claimed that the movie has no motive of degrading and disgracing the former Chief Minister, who has been inspiring the younger generation. Vijay's counsel had underlined that the movie 'Thalaivi' was based on a book titled 'Thalavi' and added that the movie had inducted actress Kangana Ranaut in the lead role while it has leading artists from the film industry and stated that while opposing the release of the biopic, Deepa hadn't objected the publication of multiple books on Jayalalithaa and she neither failed to oppose the copyright of those books.

The verdict from the Madras High court had come two days prior to the release of the web series 'Queen' whereas the shooting for the movie 'Thalaivi' has been started in November this year and the movie has the pack of important casts and an international crew of technicians.
