Kangana
Ranaut
was
recently
seen
playing
late
actor
J
Jayalalithaa
in
her
biopic
Thalaivii.
The
film
has
been
receiving
a
lot
of
love
from
fans
and
critics,
many
have
been
praising
Kangana
for
her
portrayal
of
the
late
actress,
however,
now
the
report
has
revealed
that
Jayalalithaa
wanted
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
to
play
her
role.
Veteran
actress
Simi
Garewal
took
to
her
Twitter
account
to
talk
about
the
film
and
revealed
that
although
Jayalalithaa
wanted
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
to
play
her
role,
she
would
have
approved
of
Kangana's
portrayal.
She
wrote,
'Altho
I
do
not
support
#KanganaRanaut's
radical
comments..I
do
support
her
acting
talent.
In
#Thailavii
she
gives
it
her
heart
&
soul!
Jaya-ji

Aishwarya
to
play

hunch
is
JJ
wud
hv
approved
of
Kangana's
portrayal👍.
As
for
@thearvindswamy

In
another
post,
Simi
continued
to
praise
the
makers.
She
also
mentioned
a
complaint
for
Arvind
and
wrote,
'You
forget
he
is
Arvind
Swamy!
You
believe
he
REALLY
is
MGR!
But
they
left
out
JJ's
childhood..I
wish
they
hadn't.
It
would
have
had
a
stronger
impact
in
the
story
of
Jayalalithaa..
but
that's
only
my
opinion.'
Thalaivii
is
India's
first
few
theatrical
releases
after
the
second
COVID-19
wave.
The
film
also
starring
Madhoo,
Prakash
Raj,
Jisshu
Sengupta,
Bhagyashree,
and
Poorna
has
been
going
good
at
the
box
office
as
well.
With
1500
screens
across
the
nation,
200
screens
overseas,
the
film
reportedly
opened
with
40-50
lakhs
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
Coming
back
to
Kangana,
some
of
her
other
upcoming
projects
include,
Dhaakad
co-starring
Arjun
Rampal
and
Divya
Dutta,
Tejas
in
which
she
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
