WATCH: Guess who Jayalalithaa wanted to play her in her biopic?!

Mumbai: In a new video that has gone viral on social media, chat show host Simi Garewal is seen interviewing the now deceased Iron Lady of India, Jayalalithaa.

The actress-turned-politician was asked who, in her opinion, the most beautiful woman in the world is. Amma, as she is lovingly called, was quick to say, “Earlier, it used to be Elizabeth Taylor. Now, perhaps Aisharway Rai (giggles).”

When quizzed who would she like to see playing her on silver screen, the yesteryear actress said Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. “Aishwarya Rai would be suitable to play me in my younger days but then to play me as I am now or I am likely to be in the future, I think it would be a little difficult.”

Ironically, Aishwarya had played the role of Jaya in her debut film with Mani Ratnam's 'Iruvar'.

Jayalalithaa was vivaciously graceful as an actress and commanded respect as a politician. Imagine how wonderful would it be to see one of the most beautiful faces of Hindi cinema portray the role of one of the most powerful ladies of this country.

We hope our ace directors watch this video and take note. Who knows someday, some director will make a biopic on Amma’s glorious life and Ash will feature in it.
