MUMBAI: Kangana Ranaut has carved a niche for herself in showbiz. She is regarded as one of the most talented actresses in B-town.
Her upcoming film is Thalaivii.
Kangana Ranaut said that when she was first approached for Thalaivii, she was filled with doubts about whether she would be able to do justice to the part. She was also sceptical about gaining weight for the role. The film, which will hit the theatres this Friday, sees her playing former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa.

During an interview with Film Companion, Kangana Ranaut expressed, “I thought I was the worst casting for Thalaivii, the worst there can be. Vijayendra (writer KV Vijayendra Prasad) sir actually came with the script to me and I saw Jaya amma’s videos and I was like, ‘What?’ Like, I have an angular face with a strong jaw and Jaya amma has a different kind of face. She is a beautiful, voluptuous woman and she is a Bharatanatyam dancer and she speaks Tamil.”
Kangana further mentioned even Jayalalithaa’s acting style was ‘different’ from hers and ‘more mainstream. She also had reservations about putting on weight for the role. “The sheer obstacles in my 30s to gain 20-25 kgs of weight… Who knows how I will look after gaining? Will I even be attractive? There were so many doubts that I had.” However, director Vijay convinced Kangana that she was perfect for the role.
