MUMBAI: Thalaivi is a much-awaited film, which stars Kangana Ranaut. The actress will be stepping into the shoes of Tamil superstar turned politician Jayalalithaa, in the biopic.
Kangana is working hard to justify her character. From learning Bharatnatyam, Tamil and sitting through long sessions to get the prosthetics right, the actor is doing it all. However, the retelling of J Jayalalithaa's life would be incomplete without a mention of the late actor-politician MG Ramachandran, or MGR, as he was popularly known. The former chief minister of Tamil Nadu had played an integral role in Jayalalithaa political innings. It has now been confirmed that South actor Arvind Swami, who was last seen in Bollywood in Dear Dad and best remembered for his roles in Mani Ratnam's Roja and Bombay will play the role of MGR.
