Marking
the
death
anniversary
of
the
'People's
King'
of
Tamil
Nadu
Dr
M.
G.
Ramachandran,
the
team
of
Thalaivi
revealed
a
new
look
of
Arvind
Swami
as
MGR
from
the
film.
Earlier
on
the
103rd
birth
anniversary
of
MGR,
the
makers
of
Thalaivi
released
the
first
look
of
Arvind
Swami
as
the
legend
MGR,
tracing
the
youth
and
life
of
him
as
an
actor.
Now,
on
the
death
anniversary,
the
new
look
essayed
by
Arvind
Swami
presents
the
late
legendary
actor
and
respected
politician
MGR
at
the
peak
of
his
political
career.
Directed
by
A.
L.
Vijay,
Thalaivi
traces
the
life
events
of
J
Jayalalithaa
played
by
Kangana
Ranaut
along
with
the
humungous
contribution
of
MGR
in
her
journey
to
stardom
and
politics.
South
Indian
Star
Arvind
Swami
is
all
set
to
make
his
comeback
in
Bollywood
after
his
remarkable
performances
in
Roja
and
Bombay.
While
the
first
look
of
the
actor
as
MGR
received
a
roaring
response,
the
second
look
is
further
expected
to
create
anticipation
amongst
the
masses.
Talking
about
Arvind
Swami's
look
as
MGR,
creative
producer
Brinda
Prasad
shares,
"MGR
has
been
one
of
the
most
widely
respected
and
loved
figure
amongst
the
people
of
Tamil
Nadu.
We
as
the
makers
had
to
be
extremely
cautious
about
the
presentation
of
a
personality
who
is
so
great
in
stature.
We
have
made
a
conscious
effort
to
not
just
ace
the
look
but
also
emulate
the
characteristics
of
the
legendary
hero
and
Arvind
Swami
has
been
the
apt
choice
for
the
role."
Producer
Shaailesh
R
Singh
shares,
"It
was
overwhelming
to
witness
the
warm
response
to
the
earlier
looks
of
the
film,
whether
for
Kangana
Ranaut's
portrayal
as
Jayalalithaa
or
our
first
look
of
MGR
by
Arvind
Swami.
With
every
accolade,
our
responsibility
to
deliver
better
and
live
up
to
the
expectations
has
been
increasing
and
when
we
decided
to
present
the
look
of
Arvind
Swami
as
MGR
in
his
later
stage
as
a
politician,
we
have
been
extremely
diligent
about
the
details.
We
hope
the
audience
continues
to
shower
their
love
on
the
film
and
accept
our
attempt
of
tribute
to
the
legends
of
South
Indian
cinema
as
well
as
politics."
