Kangana
Ranaut
is
currently
shooting
for
her
next
title
'Thalaivi'
in
Chennai
which
is
a
biopic
on
Jayalalithaa.
Talking
about
the
role,
Kangana
revealed
that
she
has
done
a
lot
of
research
for
this
role.
The
Panga
actor
says,
"She
(
Jayalalithaa)
was
not
like
me.
She
was
a
more
glamorous
star...
somebody
like
an
Aishwarya
Rai
in
Bollywood.
It
was
a
very
big
challenge
to
fit
into
those
shoes
because
I'm
not
known
as
a
glamorous
star.
There
is
one
common
thread,
though.
She
was
a
very
reluctant
actor.
It
is
the
same
with
me.
I
never
wanted
to
be
an
actor,
and
that
is
why
we
became
very
unusual
actors.
I
think
she
always
felt
that
she
was
worth
much
more
than
just
being
a
glam
doll
[in
films],
and
she
became
a
politician.
Like
how
I
became
a
filmmaker
because
I
felt
that
being
an
actress
was
very
limiting
for
me.
So,
I
think
there
are
parallels".
In
addition
to
this
Kangana
also
highlighted
how
one
aspect
of
their
lives
was
very
similar
"I
think,
like
every
woman,
she
longed
for
a
family,
and
she
longed
for
a
child.
I
think
there
was
a
time
in
my
life
also
when
I
longed
for
a
family.
I
think
some
of
the
married
people
took
advantage
of
that...
There
are
scenes
[in
this
film]
with
an
actor
who
is
married,
and
who
promises
marriage
and
then
goes
back
on
his
word.
She
has
to
face
a
lot
of
public
humiliation.
I
think
this
is
what
happens
to
a
lot
of
young
actresses.
It
is
not
something
that
only
we
share," Kangana
states.
Not
only
has
Kangana
been
researching
well
for
her
role
but
she
has
also
undergone
special
training
for
classical
dance.
Even
the
director
of
the
movie
is
all
praise
for
the
Padma
Shri
awardee
as
he
calls
her
a
director's
actor.
Kangana
is
known
to
bring
each
and
every
character
of
hers
to
life
and
one
can
expect
nothing
short
of
that
in
this
one
too.
