Kangana Ranaut will be seen in Thalaivi next, the biopic of former CM late J Jayalalitha.
Directed by AL Vijay, the film will be released after looking into the lockdown condition.
For the movie, Kangana learnt bharathanatyam and also she gained 20 kilos to match the look of older Jayalalitha.
Talking about her weight gain, she said, “When Kareena [Kapoor Khan] was pregnant, she gained 16 kilos. I told myself, I am like [a] post-pregnant Kareena Kapoor!”, in an interview with Mid-Day.
“I never remember feeling so unfit. At one point, I needed to support myself with my palms to stand up off the floor.”
“[The makers] told me to start losing weight so that we could shoot [Jayalalitha’s] younger portions, and that’s when I noticed that I had gained 20 kilos. I wondered if I had gone too far, and questioned if the decision to take the hormone injection was appropriate.”
