The late actress turned CM of Tamil Nadu had a massive fan base. A movie on her roller-coaster kind of life is a perfect decision.

As per the report in Mumbai Mirror, the flick is right now on the back burner as the makers have not managed to find enough funds to invest in the project. The film is supposed to be built on a 55-crore budget in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. KV Vijayendra Prasad, the writer of Baahubali is penning down the story of this film. Kangana is also said to charge a whopping Rs 24 crore as her fee.
