Kangana Ranaut Thalaivi photos out ahead of trailer launch: The trailer of Thalaivi will be launched on its lead Kangana Ranaut's birthday, March 23. Thalaivi is a biopic based on the life of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor J Jayalalithaa. Ahead of the trailer launch, Ranaut took to Twitter to share pictures that showcased her transformation into Jayalalithaa. She had earlier shared how she gained and lost 20 kgs for the role and the new pictures confirm the same.
As per reports, the trailer of Thalaivi will be launched in Mumbai and Chennai simultaneously.
Sharing the pictures, she wrote in her tweet, “One day to go for the trailer launch of #Thalaivi. Gaining 20 kgs and loosing it all back within a span of few months wasn’t the only challenge that I faced while filming this Epic Biopic, wait is getting over just in few hours Jaya will be your forever (sic).”
The Judgementall Hai Kya actor had earlier revealed that for Thalaivi, she had to go through a huge transformation to bring the leader alive onscreen. She had shared how her weight gain for the project and how learning Bharatnatyam for her role left her back severely damaged. She had also revealed that she was struggling to lose the extra kilos. “I played the first super humangirl on Indian screen, thanks to my body a rare combination of dainty yet strong-looking, in my 30’s I had to gain 20 kgs for ‘Thalaivi’ and do Bharatnatyam, it left my back severely damaged but no bigger gratification than to play a role to perfection,” Ranaut had tweeted.
“Journey back to my fit body wasn’t easy, I feel good but even in seven months not able to achieve my earlier stamina and agility back and those last 5 kgs aren’t budging, there are moments of despair and then my director Vijay sir shows me ‘Thalaivi’ footage and all seems fine,” Kangana Ranaut had added.
Thalaivi is releasing in cinemas on April 23.
