Kangana Ranaut: While we love her lockdown musings as she stays home and indoors in her native town in North India, we can’t wait to see her play the controversial and revered politician Jayalalithaa in her new biopic ‘Thalaivi’. The late chief minister of Tamil Nadu, who began her career as an actress, has led an interesting life and Ranaut will make it her business to bring her story alive. “After Manikarnika, this is my second biopic, and I am honoured to portray such a strong lady. Her personality was very different from anything I have portrayed earlier. It’s very gratifying to play someone who was so determined, persevered but had a silent strength which distinguished her from everyone else,” said Ranaut in an earlier interview. Directed by A L Vijay, the movie will explore the life of of J. Jayalalithaa, late politician and film actress who served six terms as Tamil Nadu’s CM.
