Arvind Swami Is To Play Actor And Politician MG Ramachandran In The Biopic Of Jayalalitha Starring Kangana Ranaut
In the biopic of former actress and politician Jayalalitha, Kangana Ranaut will be seen in the titular role. It is expected to be a bi-lingual movie that will release with the title Thalaivi and Jaya. Some new updates about the movie have arrived to us now. According to the reports, South Indian superstar Arvind Swami may be seen in an important role within the movie. If the reports are true then we may able to see two talented actors onscreen together.
Since the announcement about biopic on Jayalalitha, people have been quite eager to know about the movie. Makers believe that Kangana is just perfect for the part. Now, Arvind Swami will play role of another former chief minister of Tamil Nadu who is known as MGR. From the year 1977 to 1987, M.G Ramachandran has been CM of Tamil Nadu state.
Earlier, Kangana has said that she never had the pleasure to meet Jayalalitha in real life. However, she has been completely impressed by the script that the makers have come to her with. On the occasion, Kangana has said “It presented an image of her that was contrary to the one I had in my mind, so I asked for some time to think over the film during which I read up some more on her and was blown away by what I learned. It’s a story that needs to be told and I am happy to be telling it even though she was the absolute opposite of me.”
During this time, Kangana has said that she likes to dub the movie Tamil also. In order to prepare for the part, Kangana will be taking Bharatnatyam lessons. She is definitely looking forward to do some experiment with this movie.
Director Vijaya has talked about casting in the movie also. He has said “This is a pan India film, and Kangana is apt for the role. She is one of the biggest stars in India today and I think it is right that a top star plays the role of an important politician. This way, the story will also reach audiences across India. We consider this a pan-Indian film, not a regional one.”
Shooting for the movie is expected to start from the month of October.
