Last month also, Kangana had flown to Los Angeles for the measurements. The extensive measurements for prosthetics are in addition to the Simran actor learning Bharatnatyam and Tamil for Thalaivi. The film will go on floors post-Diwali near Mysore.
After the preparation, we are sure fans are waiting to see Kangana's first look from the film. It is produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shaailesh R Singh. The biopic will be titled Thalaivi in Tamil and Telegu while it will be called 'Jaya' in Hindi. Jayalalithaa served as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu for over 14 years and was an actor before entering politics. The AIADMK leader left countless supporters bereaved when she died in 2016 at the age of 68.
Thalaivi will be released in three languages - Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, and under the same name Thalaivi.
