Yet another filmmaker who was excited to produce a biopic on none other than former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa, is Adithya Bharadwaj.

After the demise of AMMA, several makers expressed their desire to make a film on the actress turned politician, but it is Adithya who has also got the rights to produce the film.

Adithya has roped in veteran National Award-winning filmmaker P Bharathiraja to direct the biopic, titled AMMA: Puratchi Thalaivi. 

After getting on board one of the best directors, the makers have approached both Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Shetty for the role of the protagonist. 

According to Bollywoodlife.com, the two gorgeous actresses are the front-runners for the role. On the other hand, actors Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal are being considered to essay the role of MGR.

According to the website, veteran music composer Ilaiyarajaa will give the musical score for the film. 

Adithya recently told The Times of India, "The maker got very emotional about the project and suggested that AMMA be used as a prefix."

Looks like the team working on the biopic has finished their research about the Iron Lady’s life and the pre-production work is also done. 

The biopic is expected to go on floors in December.
