Kangana
Ranaut's
Thalaivii,
the
biopic
of
Jayalalithaa
is
releasing
on
September
10.
While
Kangana
plays
Jayalalithaa,
Aravind
Swamy
will
be
seen
as
MGR.
The
pre-release
event
of
the
film
directed
by
AL
Vijay
took
place
recently
in
Hyderabad.
Speaking
at
the
event,
Writer
Vijayendra
Prasad
said,"
Kangana
was
initially
skeptical
about
doing
the
film
because
she
does
not
know
about
Jayalalithaa.
I
told
her
to
be
herself
and
it
is
enough.
She
immediately
accepted.
I
am
sure
she
will
be
on
the
Top
Chair
one
day".
Director
AL
Vijay
said," Kangana
ji
lived
in
this
character.
The
movie
is
all
about
Kangana
ji
and
Jaya
ji's
life.
She
has
done
complete
justice
to
the
movie.
Aravind
Swamy
is
the
pillar
of
the
film.
I
thank
the
entire
team
for
staying
strong
support
to
the
film
in
three
years
of
the
pandemic".
Aravind
Swamy
shared,
"Thalaivii
is
a
very
special
film
for
me
not
because
of
the
character.
While
doing
the
film,
I
realized
it
is
a
great
film.
Working
for
the
film
is
magical
for
me.
It
is
a
great
working
experience
for
me
with
the
best
artists
like
Kangana
and
others.
I
saw
the
film
twice.
I
can
assure
you
that
it
is
going
to
be
an
extraordinary
experience
for
sure".
Kangana
concluded
the
event
thanking
everyone
in
her
journey
as
the
legend.
"I
will
be
indebted
to
Vijayendra
Prasadji
for
this
role.
I
can
not
thank
him
enough
now
for
believing
in
me.
It
is
so
gracious
of
Aravind
Swamy
to
encourage
a
female-centric
film.
AL
Vijay
is
the
most
talented
director
I
ever
worked
with.
I
thank
all
of
the
audience
who
will
hopefully
welcome
us
in
the
theaters," she
said.
