Thalaivi First Look Out! Kangana Ranaut is Unrecognizable as Jayalalithaa, Movie to Release on June 26, 2020 (Watch Video)
Kangana Ranaut's first look as a former actress and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa out now! Thalaivi to hit the screens on June 26, 2020.
Rub your eyes all you want but she is Kangana Ranaut and this is her first look from her upcoming biopic, Thalaivi. The actress plays the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actress, Jayalalithaa in her biopic and we must say she looks unrecognisable or if there's a word better and more impactful than that. Kangana did startle us with the announcement of her next big project based on the life of the late politician and we must say, her first look is equally shocking.

Now, when we say unrecognisable, we mean in a good and bad way of course. Yes, we don't realise, there's Kangana Ranaut behind all those prosthetics and makeup but she doesn't even bear resemblance to Jayalalithaa in any way. Of course, this is just the first look and maybe she'll look more convincing on the big screen, but for now, we are elated and disappointed at the same time. This is truly a brave move on Kangana's part and we hope for it to work in the right way. Kangana Ranaut Not Starring in Bollywood Remake of ‘Aadai’, Says Producer Arun Pandian.

Recently, there were reports about Jr NTR refusing to play his grandfather in Kangana's Thalaivi. He was asked to play NT Rama Rao (NTR) in the biopic but he politely refused the offer. Revealing why director AL Vijay approached Kangana for this role, he said, "She (Kangana) 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. This way, the story will also reach audiences across India. We consider this a pan-Indian film, not a regional one." Thalaivi will release on June 26, 2020, and so far it's a solo release.
