First Look of Kangana Ranaut as Jayalalithaa in ‘Thalaivi’ has been Unveiled | Many Fans are Disappointed

First Look Poster and one-minute teaser of upcoming film ‘Thalaivi’, based on life on actress turned politician Jayalalithaa, starring Kangana Ranaut in lead role, has been unveiled. In the first look poster, Kangana’s look has been radically altered with the use of prosthetics to resemble that of Jayalalithaa during her political career. She can be seen waving a V sign, which was a signature pose of Jayalalithaa.

The legend we know, but the story that is yet to be told!

About the Film ‘Thalaivi’:

‘Thalaivi’ has been directed by A. L. Vijay and produced by Vishnu Induri and Shailesh R Singh.

Actor Arvind Swami will play the role of M G Ramachandran (MGR) in ‘Thalaivi’.

It is to be noted that MGR had been Jalalithaa’s co-star in many films and later was her political mentor.

‘Not So Good’ Reactions from Fans:

With the media buzz developing around ‘Thalaivi’, it will undoubtedly be one of the most awaited films of 2020. However, a section of the audience, including some Kangana Ranaut fans isn’t happy with the first look, and has expressed itself on social media. While many users have compared her appearance to resemble more with Smriti Irani rather than Jayalalithaa, one user has even compared it to Anil Kapoor’s look in film ‘Badhai Ho Badhai’.

first they don't take a child actor to play 13 year old manikarnika and now they can't take any senior actor to play jailalita, this doesn't always work, what is wrong with bollywood? honestly she looks so bad & there's no guarantee will play this good either, such a disgrace. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ha ha ha. This looks terrible. Fake chin was supposed to look real. Even Kamal Hasan looked better in Hindustani.
