It
was
reported
that
Maine
Pyar
Kiya
actress
Bhagyashree
will
be
seen
playing
a
pivotal
role
in
Kanagana
Ranaut's
Jayalalithaa
biopic
Thalaivi.
While
the
actress
had
refused
to
divulge
any
details
about
her
role,
a
source
close
to
the
film
recently
spilled
the
beans
about
Bhagyashree's
role
while
speaking
with
an
entertainment
portal.
According
to
reports,
Bhagyashree
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
Jayalalithaa's
mother
in
this
Kangana
Ranaut-starrer.
A
Pinkvilla
report
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Bhagyashree
will
play
the
character
of
Jayalalithaa's
mother
Vedha,
who
was
christened
Sapna
when
she
decided
to
act
in
movies.
Thalaivi's
mother
has
an
extremely
emotional
and
important
role
to
play
in
her
life.
Not
many
people
know
about
their
bonding
and
much
isn't
in
public
domain
about
who
she
was
and
how
she
was.
So
this
is
an
episode
of
her
life
that
the
filmmakers
focusing
on."
Now,
that
sounds
quite
interesting,
doesn't
it?
Speaking
about
her
role
in
the
film,
Bhagyashree
had
earlier
shared,
"I
play
a
key
role
in
the
film
and
my
character
brings
about
a
turning
point
in
'Thalaivi's
life.
Kangana
and
I
have
a
lot
of
scenes
together,
and
the
entire
team
loved
our
on-screen
chemistry.
It
was
fun
working
with
her
because
she
is
a
fantastic
artiste,
who
puts
a
lot
into
her
performances.
It
was
great
to
get
back
to
the
set
after
a
very
long
time."
Kangana
Ranaut
too,
was
all
praise
for
her
co-star
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"When
we
met,
I
had
so
many
questions
for
her
-
we
all
have
witnessed
her
spectacular
launch
and
then
she
took
a
sabbatical.
She
told
me
so
many
amazing
things
about
her
unusual
journey
as
an
artist
and
in
her
second
innings,
she
is
more
content
prepared
and
hungry
for
good
work.
I
am
fortunate
and
privileged
to
be
working
with
one
of
my
favourite
stars."
Besides
Thalaivi,
Bhagyashree
will
also
be
seen
in
Prabhas-Pooja
Hegde's
Radhe
Shyam.
The
actress
is
reportedly
playing
the
role
of
Prabhas'
mother
in
the
film.
