Biographical drama Thalaivii, based on the life of actor and former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu J. Jayalalithaa, is set to release theatrically on September 10.

The multilingual film, featuring Kangana Ranaut in the lead, was earlier scheduled to bow out in April but was pushed due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

Zee Studios posted the film's poster along with its new release date on its official Instagram page.

"With a personality queen size, Jayalalithaa's story has always belonged to the big screens! Embark on her inspiring journey from being a cine star to becoming one of the most influential CMs in theatres near you on 10th September," the caption read.

Directed by Vijay and written by KV Vijayendra Prasad, Thalaivii also stars Arvind Swami, Madhoo, Prakash Raj, Jisshu Sengupta, Bhagyashree, and Poorna.

Apart from Thalaivii, Ranaut, 34, will also be seen in action film Dhaakad and Tejas.
