Jai Lalitha (Kannada: ಜೈಲಲಿತ) is a 2014 Kannada comedy film directed by Pon Kumaran. It stars Sharan, Aishwarya Devan, Disha Pandey and Ravishankar Gowda in the lead roles. The film is based on the Malayalam film Mayamohini (2012) with Dileep in the lead role and directed by Jose Thomas. Jai Lalitha released on June 27, 2014.
Previously titled Smt. Jayalalitha, the film met with controversies over the name coinciding with the name of the then former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa. Later, it was renamed as Jai Lalitha. However, the director clarified that the name has no connection with the chief minister and instead signifies the strong embodiment of the 'woman-in-disguise' character that Sharan was supposed to play.

Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Núñez, Jr.) is a UBA (fictional version of the NBA) basketball star whose undisciplined on-and-off-court antics have earned him a bad reputation in the basketball community.
