Thalaivi FIRST LOOK: Kangana Ranaut Is UNRECOGNISABLE As Jayalalithaa, Watch TEASER

The makers of Kangana Ranaut starrer 'Thalaivi' have shared the film's first look and also announced the release date.

New Delhi:  Kangana Ranaut starrer 'Thalaivi' has been making waves ever since the project was announced.'Thalaivi', which is being directed by A.L Vijay, is based on the life of Jayalalithaa - one the most celebrated female actor-politicians in India. From learning Tamil, Bharatnatyam to sitting through arduous prosthetics sessions, Kangana has been leaving no stone unturned so as to prepare for her role. The makers of the film have now released the first look teaser of the film, which shows Kangana in two distinct looks in and as Thalaivi. Kangana Ranaut has gone a complete transformation and nailed both Jayalalithaa’s look and body language. The first look teaser shows the early years of Jayalalithaa’s career when she was a superstar heroine, and the focus then shifts to her years as a politician, a look that everyone had been eagerly waiting for. Kangana Ranaut has once again gotten completely into the skin of the character, and is almost unrecognizable. Not only are her dance moves as the younger Jayalalithaa on point, she has nailed the aura and commanding personality as the legendary politician. As soon as the look was shared, the internet erupted with praise, and can’t stop raving about the poster and teaser. Producer Vishnu Vardhan Induri said in a statement, “I am excited to show this story of an actor turn politician, which is based on one of India’s most loved and followed public figures. Thalaivi is a very dear project to all of us as it is a story that needs to be told. And the way, Kangana has slipped into the character, is simply amazing. Can't wait to present this film to the audience." After producing 'Judgementall Hai Kya' co-starring Rajkummar Rao, producer Shaailesh R Singh is proud to associate with 'Thalaivi'. ''I’m happy to collaborate with Kangana yet again after Tanu Weds Manu and Judgemental Hai Kya. There couldn’t have been anyone other than Kangana to ace and portray this legendary public figure! We can’t wait to showcase her incredible journey to the world on 26th June, 2020 ,” Singh said in a statement.
