Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Loosely inspired by Jayalalithaa's life, but Menon insists it's fiction—though Tamil audiences definitely drew parallels to the late CM's cinematic-to-political trajectory.
The series was originally conceived as a film, but Menon expanded it to explore Shakthi's interiority across decades—note how the aspect ratio subtly shifts with her age.
