Thalaivi makers have released the first look poster of Kangana Ranaut starrer J Jayalalithaa biopic. In the poster, Kangana looks mirror image of late political leader J Jayalalithaa and the credit goes to prosthetic team. There is also a glimpse of younger version of Jayalalithaa when she used to be the leading actress of South industry. Meanwhile, makers have also announced the release date of the biopic, which is 26th June 2020. The movie has been directed by Vijay and produced by Vishnu Induri and Shaailesh R Singh.
Kangana spent more than six months preparing for the titular role. Besides Bharatnatyam lessons, she learned Tamil to get into the skin of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Though the entire cast has not been revealed yet, Arvind Swami will essay the former Tamil Nadu CM and veteran actor MG Ramachandran aka MGR. The music for Thalaivi will be composed by GV Prakash Kumar. It is a trilingual film and will be made in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu.
Earlier, in an interview with Times of India, director Vijay said that Kangana is the perfect fit for the role because of her pan-India appeal. He doesn’t want Thalaivi to be considered a regional film. ‘This is a pan India film, and Kangana is apt for the role. She is one of the biggest stars in India today and I think it is right that a top star plays the role of an important politician,” he had said.
