On Thursday, the press conference of Kangana’s film Thalaivi was held and the actress stole the spotlight with her speech. She also hinted she might take a plunge into politics in near future, presumably inspired by the character of the film.
Kangana, who looks gorgeous in a traditional silk saree, was accompanied by the producer of the film Vishnu Vardhan Induri. One of the questions that Kangana was asked was if this movie would inspire her in any way in entering politics as she is now a known face down in the South as well.
“I am a nationalist and I speak for the country not because I am a politician but as a responsible citizen. And as far as entering politics is concerned, I might need a lot of support from the public but right now I am happy to be an actress. But if tomorrow people like me and support me, then definitely I would love to.”
Kangana, who plays the role of late Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu J. Jayalalithaa, feels that the movie is more about the journey of Jayalalithaa. The film shows how the person who was believed would never be a politician or won’t be able to take care of such a volatile state, not only became the chief minister but won elections a number of times.
Another question was asked on why Thalaivi has not sparked a controversy, she answered: “For this, I give all credit to my director, as even the ruling party has no issues with the movie.” She further shared her perception of politics and politicians. Kangana said she used to think politicians are lucky ones who get all the power and enjoy things. But her views have drastically changed after working and doing research for the film.
“I realised that politics is not at all easy and there are a number of challenges.” The film stars Kangana Ranaut as Jayalalithaa and Arvind Swami as M.G. Ramachandran. Shot simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, it is directed by A.L. Vijay and is written by K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, Madhan Karky (Tamil), and Rajat Arora (Hindi). ‘Thalaivii’ is produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shailesh R. Singh of Vibri Motion Pictures and Karma Media and Entertainment.
