While Kangana Ranaut plays the character of Jayalalithaa, Arvind Swami will be playing the role of late Chief Minister and ADMK's founder MG Ramachandran.

He was elected to the 16th Lok Sabha from the Vellore constituency as an ADMK candidate in the 2014 general elections.

The ADMK MLAs had boycotted the assembly session and staged protests outside the assembly venue, castigating the DMK regime for filing false cases against the party leaders. 

Palaniswami said that the current DMK government is trying to trap him in the proceedings of the Kodanad robbery and murder case.

However, there has been no potential progress in the probe and the previous government had poured several extensions to the deadline of the commission in completing the probe. 

As the DMK won the recently-held elections, Raja has crossed the party line and appreciated MK Stalin for becoming the Chief Minister.

Thalaivi is a multilingual biographical film about the life of J Jayalalithaa, who was the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and one of the iron ladies in independent India.

Dhinakaran said that Sasikala has said what he has been saying. He stated that all Jayalalithaa's supporters and cadres should stay united to stop DMK from taking power.

The 73rd birth anniversary of Jayalalithaa had stirred the clash between two factions on who really owns the legacy of the late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.

Jayalalithaa's current birth anniversary becomes crucial and draws major attention over a slew of anticipations on Sasikala's entry into active politics.
