After a long wait, Kangana Ranaut fans will finally get to see the charm of her success on the big screen when her film Thalaivi hits theaters on April 23, 2021. The trailer for the film was released today, on Kangana's 34th birthday, and it's nothing short of an epic biopic about J Jayalalithaa's inspirational life journey.
Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of J Jayalalithaa is seen bringing to life the charismatic personality of the woman leader who began her career as an actress before taking over Tamil Nadu's political scene. Kangana as Jayalalithaa brings to life her inspirational journey from actress to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister in the trailer.
Kangana as Jaya also gets to dance and impress as an actress. The trailer takes viewers on a journey through the highs and lows of the politician's life. Kangana had to undergo a major physical transformation for her appearance as J Jayalalithaa. To play the older parts of the leader's life, the actress had to raise 20 kilograms, then sacrifice it for the actress parts of her life.
Kangana kept fans up to date on her on-set antics during the shoot. She also studied Indian classical dance in preparation for an epic song in the film, which she performs alongside a large number of background dancers. Arvind Swami plays MGR, the president of the AIADMK, the political party that Jayalalithaa joined and later led.
