Thalaivi trailer launch: Was sceptical about playing this role
Ranaut, who is also celebrating her birthday today, attended the trailer launch of her Thalaivi biopic, which is based on the life of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor J Jayalalithaa. Ranaut said that she was unsure about portraying the late film icon and politician on-screen since she had no clue about Tamil Nadu politics. "I'm not familiar with the politics in Tamil Nadu and so I was sceptical about playing this role."
