Thalaivii, directed by A L Vijay and written by K V Vijayendra Prasad, premiered with glowing reviews in theatres earlier this month.

The Hindi version of Thalaivii is already uploaded on Netflix, while the Tamil and Telugu versions will be available in two weeks. Previously, prominent multiplex companies such as PVR Cinemas and INOX Leisure Ltd declined to play the Hindi version of the biography, citing the film’s Netflix debut window as being too short.
Meanwhile, Thalaivii was originally set to reach theatres in April but was postponed due to India’s second wave of COVID outbreak.
