Late Madam Jayalalithaa, also fondly called as Amma,   who during her regime as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for over five times, had made the State popular, not because of her visionary alone, but by bringing in various welfare plans to the people and set an example to other states in India.
Her cradle-children plan had won the hearts of many. Mother Teresa who visited her personally congratulated her for bringing the plan. Similarly, she announced various welfare plans for the people of Tamil Nadu particularly for women living rural villages, to stand up on their legs to make their income a supplement to several families' income. She also announced distribution of free gold for making mangal-sutras to women who are from poor families. She also announced marriage assistance to women.
Renowned Film Producer Priyadarshini who wanted to highlight the achievements of the late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa decided to produce a film in three vernaculars, namely English, Malayalam and Kannada.
The producer has included important anecdotes from the life history of Jayalalithaa and how the people welcomed it whenever, she announced the new welfare plans for the people of Tamil Nadu. Soon she became Chief Minister, she took all legal steps in gazetting the Cauvery Tribunal Order. This she had promised during her election campaigns held for the TN Assembly and fulfilled it, after waging a legal battle and finally won.
Priyadarshini who was in search for an actress who could do the role of Jayalalithaa, finally, chose actress Nithya Menon, though she has been busy with the shoot of various film schedules.
Though she was little bit hesitant to accept the role, as she was afraid that she could not finish Priyadarshini's schedules, the producer chose her to do the role, as she has been confident that the film will come up well after the completion.
