Kangana Ranaut says she had reservations about gaining weight for Thalaivii: ‘Will I even be attractive?’
KANGANA RANAUT felt it was the option of “worst” casting for Thalaivi, since it is so different from Tamil Nadu’s former Minister J Jayalalithaa. She also admitted to have reserved on the weight for paper.
Kangana Ranaut said that when she first approached Thalaivi, she was filled with doubts about whether he would be able to do justice to the part. She was also skeptical about getting weight for paper. The film, which will hit the theaters this Friday, see it by touching the former Tamil Nadu Jayalalithaa minister.
In an interview with the filmmate, Kangana admitted that he was not too convinced to play Jayalalithaa at first. “I thought it was the worst casting for Thalaivii, the worst thing that can be. Vijayendra (writer KV Vijayendra Prasad), actually came with the script, and I saw Jaya Amma videos and I was like, ‘What?’ Like, I have an angular face with a strong jaw and Jaya Amma has a different kind of face. She is a beautiful and voluptuous woman and she is a Bharatanatyam dancer and talk Tamil. “
Even Jayalalithaa’s acting style was “different” from his and “more conventional,” Kangana said. She also had reservations about weighting weight by paper. “The pure obstacles in my 30 years to win 20-25 kgs of weight … Who knows how I will take care to win? Will I even be attractive? There were so many doubts I had.”
However, director Vijay convinced Kangana that she was perfect for paper. He felt that she had “so much lose” and, if she was insisting, there must be some merit to her thought.
Thalaivii will document Jayalalithaa’s journey of movies to politics. Previously, in a series of tweets, Kangana spoke of winning 20 kgs for the paper and how he left her back her “severely damaged”. However, he said that everything is worth when he looks at how the movie turned out.
“The trip back to my body was not easy, I feel good, but even in seven months we can not achieve my previous resistance and agility and those last 5 kgs do not stay, there are moments of despair and then my director Vijay Sir It shows images of Thalaivi and everything seems fine, “she wrote.
