Gautham Menon’s Thailavi Series Cleared By The Courts, Gautham Reacts

Now that  director  Gautham Menon has very clearly stated that his web series Queen  is  not based on  the life and  politics  of Jayalalitha, the honourable  High Court in Chennai has cleared the stay  order against  the series.

Jayalalitha’s niece P Deepa had approached the  court to  stop both Menon’s  Queen and  producer Shailesh Singh’s  Kangana-helmed bio-pic  Thalaivi. Both have been cleared after reassurances  from their makers that  their work in no way  tarnishes  the image  of  the beloved leader Jayalalitha.

 In fact Gautham  Menon has gone  many steps further and  stated to the court that his web series is a work of fiction.

Reacting to  the  High  Court judgement  Gautham Menon told this writer, “I don’t want to gloat over these things. There was no need to worry at all. It’s a very positive portrayal of a character based on true events and fictionalized too. I’m saying , it’s a very positive portrayal and even if(it was based  on Jayalalitha)  there was no need to worry.”

With the High Court’s  clearance Gautham Menon’s Queen  is  all set to stream  from December 14.
