Earlier, several media reports claimed that the film might release on Netflix and Amazon just like Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Gulabo Sitabo. The Tanu Weds Manu actress had earlier stated that the film deserves much more than an OTT release. She believes that the film is much bigger in scale and was meant for a big-screen. During an interview with a local media outlet, the actress reportedly said that the films Manikarnika and Thalaivi are on the same spectrum. 

She added that Thalaivi should be enjoyed by single screen film watchers and people in remote areas who do not use OTT platforms. According to Kangana’s statement given to a media portal, she revealed that Panga, Judegementall Hai Kya, and more such films are great for the digital space. However, Thalaivi or Manikarnika are meant for bigger screens. She added that a bigger portion of the digital-friendly films came from OTT streaming and viewing.

After a long halt of over two months now, Bollywood will finally resume shoots from June 15, as per the guidelines provided by the state government. Although most of the actors are looking forward to finally be on their film's sets, the Queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut's wait for returning on the sets of her highly-anticipated film Thalaivi seems to have not come to an end yet. The reason behind the delay in Jayalalithaa's multi-lingual biopic is reportedly the film's climax shoot, which requires over 300 people. 

Kangana Ranaut is essaying the role of Jayalalithaa, the leader of political power in Tamil Nadu. The film is a biopic of the political leader who singlehandedly ruled over Tamil Nadu for quite some time. It was set to have a big-screen release on June 26. It is helmed by Vijay.
