It had all the elements to be an ATBB...
- Biopic
- Amma's Biopic
- Vijayendra Prasad of Bahubali Series and Bajrangi Bhaijaan
- Four south industries to prop
I think the film would've done well if The Second Wave hadn't killed too many people. People's desire to watch films in theaters is 0 now.
Not sure of Bollywood since don't think people up North care much about Jaylalita but down South I think it could be a hit or worked better if they had taken a South Indian actress. The main issue for people down South was Kangana since her voice was dubbed and wasn't in sync. Plus don't think people down South are that welcoming at BW actors playing meaty roles since they look at them as outsiders. I think the film could've done reasonably well with the restrictions if it had someone from the Tamil film industry and not fall flat like it did in Tamil and Telugu circuit.
