Based on the life of late Jayalalithaa, 'Thalaivii' showcases the varied aspects of her life, tracing her journey as an actress at 15 years to becoming the face of Tamil cinema as well as the rise of the AIADMK leader that changed the course of Tamil Nadu politics.

'Thalaivii', presented by Vibri Motion pictures, Karma Media Entertainment and Zee Studios in association with Gothic Entertainment and Sprint films, has been produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shailesh R. Singh and co-produced by Hitesh Thakkar and Thirumal Reddy with Brinda Prasad as creative producer.

Born on 24 February 1948 as Komalavalli in Mysrore, the name Jayalalithaa was adopted at the age of one for admission to school. Incidentally, the name was derived from the names of two houses where she resided in Mysore -- "Jaya Vilas" and "Lalitha Vilas".
