Prime Video, which bagged the post-theatrical streaming rights, announced that the film will premiere on August 22. Apart from its original Tamil version, Thalaivan Thalaivi will also stream in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. Directed by Pandiraj, the film marks Nithya and Vijay’s second collaboration after the Malayalam film 19(1)(a), which is currently streaming on JioHotstar.
Pandiraaj wrote 18 versions of Thalaivan Thalaivi
In a conversation with IANS, director Pandiraaj revealed that he wrote 18 versions of the script before finalising the romantic relationship drama. He shared that the story was inspired by two individuals he met during a family function. “The plot was inspired by two characters I met when I went with my family to the temple of my ancestors on my son’s birthday. You can’t make a film exactly the way things transpire in real life. So, this film is partly based on that idea — what if something else had happened instead? I started writing it with the intention of keeping it simple, but the more I wrote, the more it evolved into something else,” he explained.
