After
a
couple
of
months
of
lockdown,
the
entertainment
industry
in
India
is
slowly
resuming
business.
Some
productions
have
decided
to
cautiously
continue
shoots,
subject
to
permissions
granted
by
authorities.
But
it
looks
like
Thalaivi,
a
biopic
on
the
former
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister,
J.
Jayalalitha,
won't
resume
its
shoot
anytime
soon.
The
film,
starring
Kangana
Ranaut,
reportedly
needs
350
people
for
a
climax
scene.
So
the
makers
have
decided
to
wait
until
it
is
safe
to
shoot
with
a
crowd.
A
source
told
Mid-Day,
"In
the
climax,
Kangana
will
be
seen
stepping
out
of
the
legislative
assembly
as
a
crowd
awaits
her.
The
makers
wish
to
film
the
sequence
on
a
large
scale
with
350
people.
However,
the
current
guidelines
suggest
that
only
33
per
cent
of
the
original
crew
strength
can
be
present.
Since
the
makers
intend
to
shoot
the
remaining
portions
in
a
start-to-finish
schedule,
they
have
decided
to
hold
off
the
entire
schedule
until
it
is
safe
to
shoot
with
a
crowd."
Thalaivi
is
a
film
being
directed
by
A.L.
Vijay.
BTS
pictures
of
Kangana,
and
her
looks
from
the
film
have
been
surfacing
on
the
internet
ever
since
shooting
began,
getting
audiences
pumped
for
the
movie.
While
some
films
are
choosing
to
not
wait
for
theatres
to
restart
functioning
and
releasing
on
digital
platforms,
Kangana
has
ruled
out
this
possibility
for
Thalaivi.
She
said
that
the
film
is
being
produced
on
a
massive
scale,
and
is
therefore
not
made
for
OTT
platforms.
Comparing
Thalaivi
with
some
of
her
other
films
like
Panga
and
Judgementall
Hai
Kya,
she
said
that
the
latter
are
made
in
digital-friendly
ways,
and
have
been
able
to
recover
huge
costs
through
the
medium.
