"I am absolutely in love with everything this team is releasing," Akkineni added. She is not part of the project, but has showered praises on Ranaut previously for her role as Jayalalithaa. "You are the bravest, most daring and indisputably the most talented actress of our generation," she had remarked after seeing the film's trailer.

Akkineni is best known for films like Super Deluxe, Majili, and Ye Maaya Chesave.

Thanking her for releasing the first song from the Jayalalithaa biopic, Ranaut wrote to Akkineni, "You are epitome of woman empowerment, we need to empower each other and that’s real feminism. Thank you." 

The song sees Ranaut recreate Jayalalithaa's 'golden era' in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films she dominated between the 1960s and 80s. She later rose to prominence as a member of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party, going on to serve as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for six terms.

Witness the story of the legend, Thalaivi, in cinemas on 23rd April, 2021," Ranaut announced in February this year.
