As per media reports, South star Nithya Menen will be seen depicting the late politician J Jayalalithaa in young filmmaker A Priyadarshini's most awaited biopic, The Iron Lady. As we all know that at least five biopics have been pronounced on actress-turned-politician Jayalalithaa. While, Ramya Krishnan's Queen, a web-series on former Tamil Nadu CM already released and Kangana Ranaut will also be essaying the title role in the Vijay-directed Thalaivi.
 
Recently, in a media chat with the actress, Nithya opened up on doing Jayalalithaa biopic and comparisons with Kangana Ranaut's Thalaivi. She revealed, "I asked the director when I got to know about it that what she thinks as another film is coming up. I asked, 'do you still want to do this?' but she wanted to do it for a very personal reason and she was extremely fond of her (Jayalalithaa). She was close to her, had interacted with her a couple of times and knows about her personally. She told me whoever wants to do it, let them...we will also make one and I think that's a great way to look at it. It is okay, not a big deal. The way our film is structured is slightly different from what she told me. As long as the person is not competitive or feels that somebody else is also doing a film and is focused on their own film, that is important."
