Priyamani as Sasikala?

If the reports are to be believed, Priyamani has been roped in for playing the role of Sasikala, the close aide of Jaya. The director of the film reportedly feels that Priyamani, who is a National Award-winning actor, is also well aware of the interpersonal relationships of Jayalalithaa and Sasikala, and hence would be a perfect choice to play the part.  AL Vijay also feels that she will do justice to the role.

Thalaivi will reportedly be made in three different languages (Telugu, Tamil and Hindi), as planned by the producer of the film, Vishnu Induri. Thus, he needed an actor with a pan-Indian appeal, which Priyamani has as she has done multi-lingual films throughout her career. The director also reportedly feels confident that Priyamani will add her own style to the part.
