The trailer also shows Jayalalitha’s struggles in her political life. It has an intense glimpse of the controversial saree pulling incident in the Assembly.
Why Jayalalitha’s saree was pulled in the Assembly?
On March 25, 1989, Jayalalithaa, the Leader of the Opposition and the first woman in the state to occupy that post, was assaulted in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.
Violence erupted in the Assembly between members of her party and MLAs of Karunanidhi’s DMK. Karunanidhi called her all sorts of name after she called him a criminal. Later she was physically assaulted and the loose end of her saree was pulled out.
Incensed and humiliated, she left the Assembly, vowing that she would come back as the Chief Minister. The incident acquired the reverence of myth in the public imagination.
Two years down the line, she threw Karunanidhi off the CM seat and swept to power.
