I have been getting a lot of questions
about the status of the movie The Iron Lady. I’m duty bound to
answer your queries as the director of the film. While you may
already know some of the facts discussed here, I place them before you
again to comprehensively answer all the questions I have been asked
recently. The film The Iron Lady spans over six
decades covering the entire life story of former Chief Minister of Tamil
Nadu,Selvi. J. Jayalalithaa, who was lovingly addressed by the people of
TamilNadu as “Amma.”
The most charming and vivacious
actor Ms. NithyaMenen is to play the lead role of Amma J.
Jayalalithaa, in the movie. After carefully listing out the different aspects
that the role demands, NithyaMenen was shortlisted as the perfect cast for the
role of Amma. From sharing similar facial features to emanating a graceful and
charming personality, Nithya Menen naturally embodies many
personality traits that Amma herself exhibited. She has the iron will
that Amma had and can speak six languages fluently just the way Amma
could. She, like Amma is also trained in Bharathnatyam and vocal carnatic
music since childhood.
The most challenging aspect of a biopic
is inintroducing it to the audience. Perhaps even more so than the making
of it. While biopics are commonly viewed as a breeding ground
for both absolving as well as raising more
problematics, controversies and criticisms there are many
procedural aspects to introducing its production stages to the
public. Right from scaling the subject, cast confirmation and
character reveal to acknowledging and authenticating the source of information
in an ethical manner the challenges that are posited before a director are so many. Biopic
is a challenging genre as it has scope to cater
to expectations of larger audience groups. The script of a biopic demands
a lot of effort and careful planning as it must fulfill several criteria. To
have a proper reach, a biopic must be critically acclaimed, objective in
its standpoint while representing multiple points of view
and should also be a commercial success. Sir Richard
Attenborough spent 18 years to shape the biopic Gandhi. I
strongly believe that such devout preparations and well planned
execution is the need of the hour when it comes to directing a biopic.
Casting plays almost 50 percent of the
role in pitching a biopic to the audience. Therefore, I wouldn’t
compromise on the casting choices at any rate. Only a perfect casting team
can help each other in building the narrative of a biopic and at the same
time bring to life on screen the essence of
their real-life counterparts. There is a
huge responsibility that lies ahead of me to meet all of
these quality demands. I have acquired a clear vision of
my path and have gained more strength and courage by studying, research and
travelling along with the characters of this film and make the impossible,
possible.
The Iron Lady consists of many technical departments
operating synchronously towards exploring our creative potential and
at the same time refrain misrepresenting that real
facts. I’m awaiting dates confirmation from two of the main character
cast of the film. The cast characters’ reveal is sure to be an
interesting and exciting one and definitely worth
the wait! It is necessary to wait to fully understand the
logic and reason behind the timing of the reveal. I can assure to those to
raise many questions and concerns about updates on the
movie, that your palpable excitement and expectations are sure to be
satiated with each andevery step that we are to take and
consequently revealto all.
Thanking
You.
A
Priyadhaarshini
