Top Kannada actress Ragini Dwivedi is currently acting in a multilingual film titled Amma. Although the makers didn’t make any formal announcement, Ragini has been time and again saying that the movie is a biopic on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.

The hot Kannada actress, who is noted for her voluptuous figure and capability to touch the peaks of boldness, has recently said that the climax of Amma will be reshot after the demise of Jaya. ‘Earlier, the climax was reshot when the TN CM went to jail in disproportionate assets case,’ she said, adding that the film will be released in all the south languages and Hindi.

The interesting question is will the people of Tamil Nadu let this film release? The director of Amma has earlier directed a film titled ‘Main Hoon Rajinikanth, ’ and it is yet to release in south India.

Senior actress Gautami, who has recently made her comeback to Tollywood screen with ‘Manamantha’ has now hit headlines by writing a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing malicious agenda behind the death of Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa.

It may be recalled that Jaya had fought for 74 days in hospital before succumbing to illness. Gautami questioned why doctors kept her condition a secret for so many days?

Why was she not taken abroad for better treatment? Why public was kept in darkness about her condition? Gautami has written a letter to the PM asking him to order a thorough inquiry into this matter.

Gautami’s letter has become a talking point in political circles now. The reason being her estranged partner and actor Kamal Haasan, who had created a huge controversy with his earlier tweet targeting the supporters of Jaya

It is an open secret that late Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa had a very fondness for Thala Ajith Kumar. Soon after the demise of Jaya, many Tamil media houses even predicted that Ajith would be made her successor, if not immediately in due time for sure.

Keeping it all aside, Ajith definitely has won the hearts of fans of Amma with his noble act. The actor was in Bulgaria, shooting for his new film when Amma was declared dead. As he was thousands of miles away, he could have simply sent a condolence message.

But, Ajith cancelled the film’s shoot and caught the immediate possible flight to Chennai to pay homage to the iron lady. He landed in Chennai in the wee hours of Wednesday and went directly to the burial place of Amma to pay his last tributes.

Later, he also visited the Apollo hospital to pay tributes to Cho Ramaswamy.

Emotions are running high in Tamil Nadu, as Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, battles grave illness in Chennai’s Apollo Hospital. Being a state that is known for cult-politics and demigod like adoration of its political leaders, the fervor around Jayalalithaa’s health only underlines the popularity and affection the actor-turned politician enjoys amid her people.

It was her charisma as an actor, and later as a politician that enabled her to step into the shoes of her political mentor MG Ramachandran, and command single-handed control of one of Tamil Nadu’s main political parties — the AIADMK.
