It's been two years since its release.” “Endless fake news is being circulated about me, please ignore those jinki jali padi hai (ignore those who are jealous of me),” she added.
'Thalaivii' released in 2021 amid much fanfare. Touted to be a biopic of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, the film starred Kangana in the titular role with Arvind Swami who portrayed the role of ADMK founder CM MR Ramachandran.
Despite receiving appreciation for her performance in the film, 'Thalaivii' bombed at the box office. As per reports, the film collected only Rs. 1.46 crores at the box office.
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut will turn a year older on Thursday. She is currently in Udaipur, ahead of her special day. She also shared pictures and a video on her Instagram story with a caption, "Ignore changu mangu gang, just focus on my beauty.”
