Kangana
Ranaut's
magnum
opus
Thalaivii
has
garnered
a
lot
of
love
from
fans
and
critics
alike.
Just
days
after
release,
the
film's
co-writer,
Rajat
Arora
has
hinted
at
a
possible
sequel.
Rajat
revealed
that
the
follow-up
film
could
follow
Jayalalitha's
journey
as
the
Chief
Minister
of
Tamil
Nadu.
In
an
interview
with
Bollywood
Life,
Rajat
said
that
politics
is
another
chapter
of
the
legendary
actress'
life.
He
added,
"over
20-30
years
and
cramming
it
within
15
minutes
wouldn't
have
done
it
justice.
There
was
always
the
intention
that
if
we
want
to
show
her
(Jayalaitha's)
journey
ahead,
then
we'll
show
it
in
part
2."
Rajat's
opened
up
about
the
sequel
after
several
film
critics
pointed
out
that
the
film
did
not
show
Jayalalithaa's
life
after
she
became
a
CM.
He
revealed
that
the
biopic
was
originally
aimed
at
only
showcasing
Jayalalithaa's
journey
from
"Cinema
to
CM".
"We
always
wanted
to
tell
a
story
where
a
girl
from
cinema
reached
the
CM's
chair,
it
was
a
conscious
decision
to
tell
this
part
of
her
journey,
that's
why
if
you
see
the
poster,
it
says,
'Cinema
se
CM
tak
(from
cinema
to
the
CM)",
he
said.
Rajat
added
that
while
the
thought
has
always
been
there,
the
team
has
yet
to
make
a
decision.
"Let's
see
if
the
story
takes
shape.
Of
course,
we've
spoke
to
Kanganaji.
If
y'all
are
saying
that
there's
so
much
more
story
left
to
show,
then
definitely
it
can
be
shown,
the
story
is
there.
However,
how
to
take
it
forward
will
need
to
be
discussed
after
we
met
(the
entire
team)," he
told
the
portal.
Directed
by
Vijay,
Thalaivii
was
produced
by
Vishnu
Vardhan
Induri
and

film
made
it
to
the
big
screen
on
September
10
after
several
delays
due
to
the
pandemic.
Thalaivii
released
worldwide
in
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telegu
by

10.
