Kangana
Ranaut
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
her
upcoming
multilingual
Thalaivii
in
which
she
is
essaying
the
role
of
former
actress
and
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister,
the
late
J
Jayalalithaa.
In
a
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
news
portal,
the
actress
opened
up
on
whether
she
predicts
a
National
Film
Award
win
for
her
film.
As
per
a
report
in
Wion,
the
actress
said
that
she
bagged
four
National
Awards
in
total-under
Congress
and
BJP
rule
and
that
it
would
be
'not
fair'
to
say
she
would
win
one
for
Thalaivii.
Kangana
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
got
four
National
Awards.
Two
of
them
under
Congress
rule
and
two
in
BJP's
rule.
So,
there
is
no
chance
of
criticism.
It
is
not
fair
to
say
I
will
win
the
award
for
this
movie.
I
have
given
my
best
but
there
can
be
even
better
performances
from
others
as
well."
Speaking
about
playing
the
role
of
the
actress-turned-politician
on
the
celluloid,
the
actress
explained,
"I
do
not
know
much
about
Jaya
Amma
before
doing
the
film.
It
is
very
difficult
to
make
a
film
on
her
because
Tamil
people
know
about
everything
in
her
life.
So,
there
is
no
chance
of
cinematic
liberties.
I
tried
to
get
into
her
shoes
to
decide
why
she
took
a
decision
at
a
particular
time."
She
further
added,
"Jayalalithaa
is
a
great
Bharata
Natyam
dancer.
She
even
gave
many
performances.
So,
I
learned
the
dance
for
the
movie.
It
is
not
easy
to
play
her
because
she
looks
different
in
four
phases
of
her
life.
Decreasing
and
increasing
weight
for
the
same
film
is
not
easy.
AL
Vijay
is
a
talented
director
and
has
extreme
clarity
about
what
he
is
doing.
Producers
should
be
appreciated
for
holding
the
movie
despite
getting
several
fancy
offers
from
OTT."
Meanwhile,
Kangana
had
expressed
her
disappointment
over
multiplex
owners
refusing
to
screen
Thalaivii
in
Hindi
owing
to
the
gap
between
its
theatrical
and
OTT
release.
Speaking
about
the
same,
the
actress
said,
"On
one
side,
we
are
trying
to
help
the
theaters
survive.
They
should
behave
responsibly.
They
allowed
Radhe
simultaneous
release.
It
looks
like
they
are
being
partial
here.
Gender-bias
and
groupism
is
not
good
for
the
industry."
Helmed
by
AL
Vijay,
Thalaivii
also
stars
Arvind
Swamy,
Bhagyashree,
Madhoo
and
Raj
Arjun
in
pivotal
roles.
