Today marks the 72nd birth anniversary of one of the most talented actresses and powerful politicians that India has ever seen - Ms. J. Jayalalithaa! Having entered the spotlight as an actress of repute at a very young age, Jayalalithaa emerged as one of the most respected and formidable politicians to ever rule an Indian state. She was and still is an inspiration to thousands of men and women with her followers going on to fondly call her "Amma". Having adorned the Chief Minister position of Tamil Nadu for four terms, it was while in her fifth term that an unfortunate illness prematurely took away this 'Iron Lady' of Tamil Nadu!
Ever since Jayalalithaa's passing, many filmmakers had announced biopics on her and some of them have also gotten underway! Gautham Menon's web-series Queen, which was a fictional take on Jayalalithaa's life and times, has already been released with fans eagerly waiting for the next season of this series! Another most awaited biopic is director AL Vijay's Thalaivi, which has Kangana Ranaut essaying the role of the former Chief Minister. Arvind Swami is playing the role of the legendary actor, politician and Jayalalithaa's mentor MG Ramachandran. Now, the Thalaivi team has released a new look of Kangana Ranaut, from the movie!
Though Kangana's first look from Thalaivi came in for some mixed response with quite a number of people slamming the effort. However, the subsequent shooting spot photos and looks from the movie have been well received and this latest look of Kangana Ranaut shows a very relatable similarity between her and Jayalalithaa. Kangana's team also shared an old photo of Jayalalithaa, in a similar look. Thalaivi, bankrolled by Vibri Media & Karma Media And Entertainment, has music by GV Prakash, cinematography by Vishal Vittal and editing by Anthony. This movie is scheduled to hit the screens on June 26th, 2020!
