Bringing to screen the unspoken relationship between Jayalalithaa and MGR played by Kangana Ranaut and Arvind Swamy respectively, Thalaivii sheds light on the iconic pair on screen
Bringing
to
screen
the
unspoken
relationship
between
Jayalalithaa
and
MGR
played
by
Kangana
Ranaut
and
Arvind
Swamy
respectively,
Thalaivii
sheds
light
on
the
iconic
pair
on
screen
as
well
as
off-screen
as
they
replicate
the
original
songs
of
the
duo
for
this
romantic
song
in
the
film.
In
the
romantic
song
'Teri
Aankhon
Mein',
paying
a
tribute
to
the
innumerable
blockbusters
of
the
legendary
South
Indian
superstars,
the
makers
of
Thalaivii
have
recreated
four
iconic
original
songs
featuring
the
duo-
Kannae
Kaniyae
and
Enna
Porutham
from
Rasiya
Police
115
(1968),
Ninathathai
Nadathiyae
from
Nam
Naadu
(1969),
Ninathen
Vanthai
from
Kaavalkaaran
(1967).
From
replicating
the
looks
to
the
movements
on
screen,
Kangana
has
attempted
to
resemble
the
nuances
from
original
songs
to
the
closest,
paying
her
ode
to
the
most
loved
and
respected
cinematic
legends
of
Tamil
Nadu.
Talking
about
the
same,
Kangana
said,
"Jaya
Amma's
songs
are
significant
because
they
are
part
of
pop
culture.
This
song
is
an
amalgamation
of
those
tracks.
Jaya
Ma
and
MGR
gave
60
to
70
songs
together.
They
worked
together
for
decades,
but
we
had
to
crack
it
in
the
span
of
four
days.
In
a
day,
I
would
go
through
several
looks
and
hairstyles.
The
two
forces
of
Tamil
cinema
created
fireworks
on
screen,
and
I
wanted
that
magic
to
be
authentic."
Revealing
the
experience
of
shooting
the
song
while
also
gearing
up
for
the
latter
part
of
the
film,
Kangana
said,
"In
her
younger
days,
Jaya
Amma
had
an
hourglass
body.
But
we
were
on
the
brink
of
shooting
the
second
hour
of
the
film.
My
director
took
it
upon
himself
to
make
sure
I
was
well-fed.
His
mother's
handmade
meals
came
in
three
tiffins."
The
actress
had
gained
almost
20
kgs
to
portray
Jayalalithaa
in
the
latter
part
of
her
life.
The
teaser
of
the
song
was
released
on
Friday,
while
the
song
releases
on
Monday.
Earlier,
the
makers
released
the
trailer
of
the
film
which
highlighted
the
varied
phases
of
Jayalalithaa's
life
played
by
Kangana
Ranaut.
From
the
glorious
years
at
cinema
to
her
relationship
with
MGR
as
mentor,
protector,
lover
to
the
revolutionary
political
Career
phase
in
Tamil
Nadu,
Thalaivii
unfolds
the
untold
reality
behind
the
life
of
Jayalalithaa.
Makers
earlier
revealed
the
new
release
date
of
the
film
ensuring
a
theatrical
release
as
they
strongly
believe
the
correct
way
to
pay
homage
to
Jayalalithaa
would
be
to
bring
her
back
to
the
silver
screen.
