Jayalalitha's family objects the web series

While this is the case, the niece and nephew of former CM Jayalalithaa have objected the web series as it is going to portray some part of personal life as well. Deepak Jayakumar, nephew of Jayalalithaa says that "they didn't get permission from the family members to shoot the personal life of her, Anyone can show the political life and we don't have a problem about it, but not personal life, the court has accepted that we are legal heirs of Jayalalithaa, So they cannot release this or shoot without asking us when they show her personal life."
